Grazie ad Alberto Campagnolo per aver condiviso un sistema per trattare i volumi di sole carte singole e di legature incollate, ancora non ho capito come riesca a montare molto meno, dovrò provarlo!
"Conservation of a caoutchouc botany book
Elizabeth Twining (1805–1889) was a botanist and a botanic artist whose book Illustrations of the Natural Orders of Plants with Groups and Descriptions was printed in London in 1849 in folio. It is thought to rank among the finest lithographic flower books of the mid-nineteenth century.
Senate House Library, the central library of the University of London, holds the quarto edition of 1868. The two-volume set contains 160 colour plates on thick paper bound using caoutchouc, a latex adhesive sometimes known as gutta perche. This adhesive-only binding was pasted into a quarter goat case."
