About This Item
David A. Scott provides a detailed introduction to the structure and morphology of ancient and historic metallic materials. Jointly published by the GCI and the J. Paul Getty Museum, the book deals with many practical matters relating to the mounting, preparation, etching, polishing, and microscopy of metallic samples and includes an account of the way in which phase diagrams can be used to assist in structural interpretation. The text is supplemented by an extensive number of microstructural studies carried out in the laboratory on ancient and historic metals. The student beginning the study of metallic materials and the conservation scientist who wishes to carry out structural studies of metallic objects of art will find this publication quite useful. The end papers and all text pages are clean and unmarked; The binding is excellent with a straight spine; extremely good, unused and collectible copy of rare, out-of-print book.
