Summary/Abstract: The successful cooperation of the Varaždin City Museum and the Department of Paper and Leather of the Croatian Conservation Institute has resulted in a large number of restored prints rescued from further decay. Each of them can now be presented and shown as deserved. From year to year, approximately ten prints are restored annually according to a systematic plan. This is an extremely valuable and important cooperation for the Varaždin City Museum. The paper (Part 1) deals with a brief overview of the Collection of paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings the significant part of which are the prints. The presentation and the description of the most important selected prints that make up the basis of the highly valuable prints in the Museum are described. Within the years of a successful cooperation between the Department for Paper and Leather and the Varaždin City Museum a large number of significant artworks on paper have been restored. Two Japanese woodblock prints from the 18th century are the highlights. The author of these woodblocks is the Japanese master Eishi Hosoda (1756-1829).
