“Dare to Know”—Bookmaking In The Age of Enlightment

Take a closer look at the materials and techniques used to create select works from the special exhibition “Dare to Know: Prints and Drawings in the Age of Enlightenment.” Conservation experts and curators delicately outline the physical properties of the objects discussed and explain how their materiality brings the works to life. #daretoknow In this installment, conservator Yi Bin Liang explores a set of five cow-skin leather bound volumes from Jacob Christian Schäffer, even touching upon possible incidents of insanity that came from finger licking and page flipping! She also deconstructs how these ornate books were created, gilded, sewn and bound, detailing the intricate artistic process.
