hardcover, dust jacket. 9 x 11 inches. hardcover, dust jacket. 384 pages. As documents of the built environment, as source material for architectural historians and preservation architects, and as stunning works of art, architectural drawings serve a wide and diverse audience. This book explores the materials and techniques used in their fabrication while illustrating their evolution from the eighteenth through the twentieth century. In addition to documenting the drafting process, this exploration also contributes to an understanding of the development of architectural design, the architectural profession, and the manufacturers that served its drafting and reprographic needs. Because architectural drawings survive in great numbers and in large, often unstable formats, preservation and access issues present major challenges for institutions that hold research collections. This book provides a comprehensive look at both the problems and the solutions. It is beautifully illustrated with examples from major collections and includes extensive source citations. The Foreword is by James F. O'Gorman. The first three chapters discuss: the development of drafting-specific drawing, detail, and tracing papers and cloths; the changing media and techniques used in drafting, rendering, and mounting working, detail, and presentation drawings; the use of drawing instruments and correction and copying methods; and the introduction, development, and identification of blueprints and other photo-reproduction processes, including the history, chemistry, and working procedure for each process. The fourth and final chapter includes: an introduction to preservation, collection management, storage, and exhibition specifically for architectural drawings and photo-reproductions; and descriptions of specific conservation treatments with an assessment of their appropriateness for different deterioration issues and types of drawings. Lois Olcott Price is Director of Conservation and Senior Conservator of Library Collections at the Winterthur Museum, Winterthur, DE. She holds an MS in art conservation and serves as Assistant Winterthur Professor in the Winterthur/University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation. She also holds an MA in American Material Culture from the University of Delaware. Since 1991, she has pursued a long-standing research interest on the fabrication and preservation of American architectural drawings. In support of her research she has received several grants and has lectured, consulted, and published widely on issues related to architectural drawings.…

hardcover, dust jacket. 7 x 10 inches. hardcover, dust jacket. 200 pages. Charles Magnus (1826-1900) was one of the most prolific American printers of ephemera during the late nineteenth century. A native of Germany, he immigrated to New York City around 1850, where he enjoyed a long, creative career printing ephemera such as songsheets, illustrated stationery, birds eye views, maps, board games, puzzles, greeting cards, and rewards of merit. He also published several books and supplied illustrations for others. Given the range of his printing and publishing efforts, it is likely that many households of the time would have had something with his name on it. This book first examines Magnus as a person, then details the various kinds of items he published, giving a full chapter to his many Civil War era products. It considers his early life in Germany, his family, and his business activities in America. It focuses on him as a businessman who was concerned about making a living to support his family and employees, addresses how he advertised, and discusses how he never relinquished his ties to Europe and his native Germany. Due to the ephemeral nature of Magnus's imprints, the lifespan of most of his work was short, making them rare survivors in today's collecting institutions. Yet, as examples of the pervasive vernacular visual culture of the nineteenth century, they are important to both scholars and collectors. Documenting nearly a half century of the American experience, they inform us about the games children played, ballads that adults read and sang, the sites of Civil War battles, advertising strategies, and sentiments expressed through valentines. Throughout the book are over 100 color illustrations of Magnus's work and portraits of him and his family. An appendix lists the items mentioned by title in the book and records where at least one copy of each can be located. A comprehensive index completes the volume. Magnus, Charles (ilustrador).…
