THE CARE AND HANDLING OF ART OBJECTS: PRACTICES IN THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART (Revised Edition), Marjorie Shelley, illustrated by Helmut Nickel, softcover, stated fourth printing, 1996. BOOK CONDITION: very good. The text block and illustrations are in fine condition with no dogears, marks, or tears. No bookplate or signature of a prior owner. This is not a library book or remainder. The red glossy wraps are in good condition (some scratches and tiny indentations on front cover, original bookstore price tag on back cover). 9 x 6, 100 pages, 10 ounces XX [From the back cover] The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York houses one of the world's largest and most comprehensive collections of antiquities and works of art. Their preservation is a responsibility that involves everyone who serves the Museum and who has access to the collection. This handbook offers a practical guide to the ways in which different art objects should be handled and cared for, whether they are on display, in transit, or in storage; and it also explains some of the fundamental principles of conservation that underlie Museum practice. Drawing on the professional experience of curators and conservators from many different departments, THE CARE AND HANDLING OF ART OBJECTS has been put together primarily for those who work in the Metropolitan Museum. What it has to say, however, will be of great interest to others - private collectors large and small, museum visitors, and concerned members of the public. The principal author, Marjorie Shelley, Conservator of Prints and Drawings, has been at the Museum since 1974. Her area of specialization includes all media on paper and related materials, and she has lectured and written on the conservation, treatment, and analysis of works of art in her field. Ms. Shelley holds an M.A. in art history and a diploma in conservation from the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In the tenth-century Annales Cambriae, which possibly goes back to contemporary sources, the entry about the Battle of Badon Hill mentions that Arthur carried the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ on his shoulders for three days and three nights. It is likely that this Latin quote is based upon a Welsh source, in which the words for shoulder (ysqwyd) and shield (ysqwyt) were close enough in spelling to get mixed up quite easily.Arthurs Miscellany is full of such insights, based upon a lifetime study of heraldry and armour. These essays were written over a period of more than 30 years, some never published before now. Chapters include: The Arms of Lancelot du Lac; Why Was the Green Knight Green?; and Merlin, Magic, and Swords of Power. Alongside his career as an historian and museum curator, Helmut Nickel was a famous illustrator.Few historians would be confident enough to interpret the symbology of the mid-15th century armorial, Les Noms, Armes, et Blazons des Chevalliers et Compaignons de la Table Ronde all 175 of them! Many of the illustrations within are by the author. This is an important contribution to the Arthurian canon and a tribute to a great scholar and artist from his friends and fellow researchers. Helmut Nickels extensive scholarship is a considerable contribution to the world of Arthurian studies. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
