Copeland, Robert Parian Ware : Copeland's Statuary Porcelain
ACC 2007 1851494995 A New Copy in New Dustjacket.
277 pp. Over 400 illustrations of the parian productions by Copeland. Includes the making costs and selling prices over forty years and illustrations from the Copeland archives Parian, a high-quality, unglazed porcelain, was developed in the early 1840s by Copeland & Garrett, which was the first company to exhibit it in 1845. Its purpose was to provide small sculptures for the public at a time when full size marble statues were gracing the homes of wealthy people. Examples exhibited at the 1851 Great Exhibition stimulated the demand initiated by the Art Union of London in 1845 and promoted further in the next forty years by other Art Unions. "Parian - Copeland's Statuary Porcelain" tells this fascinating story in detail, beginning with its origin and introduction. The debate in the columns of the Staffordshire Advertiser as to which firm was the first to introduce Parian is also examined here in detail. The book goes on to describe the manufacturing processes of mould-making and the casting of the figures. Also included is a comprehensive catalogue of Copeland's productions of statuettes, groups and portrait busts.

Garland, Patricia Sherwin Early Italian Paintings: Approaches to Conservation Proceedings of a Symposium at the Yale University Art Gallery, April 2002
Cumberland, Rhode Island, U.S.A. Yale Univ Press 2003 0300100787 Laminated Boards A New Copy
300 pp; "In this landmark book, some of the world’s most respected art historians, conservators, curators, and conservation scientists explore issues in the preservation and restoration of Italian paintings that date from the thirteenth to the sixteenth century. Together their essays illustrate ways in which these associated disciplines can enhance one another’s understanding of works of art. The authors address not only the conservation of early Italian pictures but also overall philosophies and problems, past and present, of conservation. These topics include prevailing attitudes toward conservation methodologies in the twentieth century; the presentation of damaged and fragmented paintings; the implications of varnishes used in early Italian painting; the aesthetics and practice of retouching and restoration; and the identification of the artists’ and conservators’ materials. The book is the publication of the proceedings of a symposium that took place at the Yale University Art Gallery in April of 2002. "
