Historical Ink and India Ink Pitting. Restoration Problems

Summary/Abstract: This abbreviated version of an article published by the author in 1998 presents the outcome of research on ink pitting, and, more precisely, on the mechanisms and causes of its origin. The author discusses basic methods of the conservation of objects affected by this type of damage. The studies began with a gathering of prescriptions and the recreation of particular types of ink and India ink, followed by an analysis of their appearance and damage mechanisms. This is the base of a publication containing numerous new information necessary for restoration. The presented study is the first holistic and exhaustive examination of the composite issue at stake and a presentation of ensuing results.
