Das Buch ist fĂŒr den Restaurator und den Globusfreund gleichermaĂen geschrieben. Globenrestaurierung fuĂt einerseits auf Restaurierungstheorien und bedarf andererseits des intensiven Studiums dieser auĂergewöhnlichen KulturgĂŒter. Das Buch liefert dem Restaurator konkrete VorschlĂ€ge und versorgt den Sammler und Museumskurator mit wertvollen Hinweisen zu fachgerechter Lagerung, Handhabung und PrĂ€sentation. Das Buch bringt neue Forschungsergebnisse, z.B. zum Thema Metallgloben mit Papierzwickeln und weist auf den Nutzen, die die Kenntnis der MaterialitĂ€t von Globen auch anderen Disziplinen in der Forschung bringt hin. Das Buch basiert auf ĂŒber 30 Jahren Erfahrung der Autorin auf dem Gebiet.
Globe-Conservation is based on theories and intense studies. This book is written for the conservator-restorer to give him or her new knowledge, especially the chapter on globes made of metal spheres with paper gores is an entirely new research work. But also the other parts are systematized and exhaustively researched. It is also written for the layman to make him or her appreciate the globe at hand, possibly in his or her property even more and to guide him or her to store, handle and keep it properly.
Finally the book will be interesting for the researcher on globes, as it might open a historian, a geographer etc. his or her eyes for the material used in the globes and the information inherent in it.
The material is based on the 30 years experience of the author in the field of conservation-restoration in general and globe conservation in particular.
