Last week Michael Durgin, editor and founder of the magazine @handpapermaking came to visit us @abaroma__
A fruitful occasion for students and professors to have a look to some of the issues and limited edition portfolios, and to share ideas and experiences around the wonderful art of papermaking.

🇬🇧 FASTENINGS, "used to hold a book shut when it is not in use. They can take a variety of forms and be made from many different materials, but their essential function is secure one board or cover to the other across the fore-edge of the bookblock and often the head and tail edges as well." The Language of Bindings Thesaurus (LoB)
In the pictures: a strip of alum-tawed skin on a limp vellum binding of the XVI century.

🇮🇹 SISTEMI DI CHIUSURA, usati per tenere chiuso un libro quando non è in uso. Possono assumere una varietà di forme e essere costituiti da tanti materiali diversi, ma la loro funzione essenziale è quella di assicurare un piatto all'altro al di sopra del taglio davanti del blocco delle carte e spesso anche sui tagli di testa e piede.
Nelle immagini: un laccio in pelle allumata di una legatura in pergamena floscia del XVI secolo.

🇬🇧 Pretending to be a daguerreotype.
In the XIX century it was common to mount tintypes in a case, making them look like daguerreotypes. In that way the photogrqph would increase its charm maintaining a more affordable cost.

🇮🇹 Fingere di essere un dagherrotipo.
Nell'Ottocento era in uso il montaggio di ferrotipi in astuccio, facendoli assomigliare ai dagherrotipi. In questo modo la fotografia acquisiva fascino mantenendo costi più contenuti.
