Lecture by Martha Romero on Latin American Bookbinding from the Conservation of Books series
The talk by Martha Romero will be about the process she and her co-author María Ángela Silvetti followed to write Chapter 9 of the book Conservation of books, which were the main challenges, the information available about bookbinding in Latin America, the collaborators, the photographs, and the finally content of the chapter.
Romero will also talk about the conclusions about regional bookbinding and research lines that are still open about the subject.
This talk will be recorded and available to ticket-holders for a short time only to allow participation from people in multiple time zones and with other commitments.
It is co-hosted by Bainbridge Conservation and the Icon Book & Paper Group.
