Descripción Casa Editrice Leo S. Olschki, 2010. Estado de conservación: new. English Text. Firenze, 2010; paperback, pp. 86, 69 b/w and col. ill., cm 21,5x30. After a short introduction on the historical context surrounding the use of drawing techniques, chapter two and three of this guide pass in review selected fundamentals regarding the history and technology of wet and dry media, crucial for their visual identification and analysis. This information is easily accessible to those familiar with or interested in Old Master drawings. An attempt is made to clarify the connection between ancient media and modern terminology. With the aid of numerous illustrations, chapter four outlines a step by step method for identifying the different media used. An essential part is dedicated to the identification of iron-gall and bistre inks, the most delicate problem, one that is not always possible to resolve visually. The identification of the different inks is mostly based on their characteristic physical behaviour. A section illustrates the possibilities and contribution of scientific analysis when visual identification falls short. Chapter five gives some supplementary scientific information.
