Just got a treat via Interlibrary Loan! The much-beloved, but limited-run journal known as “Recent Setbacks in Conservation”.

Thanks to thegetty for loaning them! I’ll take good care of them while they’re in my possession. 🙂

Here’s just a sampling of what articles are contained within:

“Restoration from Beyond: Is There a Happy Medium?”

“Preserving a Sense of Humor”

“Why, Oh Why, Do Paintings Crack?”

“A Simple Operation to Enhance Restorer Performance” by V.I. Lobotomov

“Conservation of an ethnographic object too large to contemplate without a large whiskey”
