"Burmese Silver from the Colonial Period" is a catalog of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Burmese silver objects collected by Graham Honeybill, a retired British banker. The book, authored by Dr. Alexandra Green, provides an extended interpretive essay and a catalog of 120 objects, accompanied by 250 color photographs. Green's essay covers various aspects of colonial Burmese silver objects, including their production, use, and artistic influences from China, India, Thailand, and Europe. The catalog provides detailed information on each object's date of production, dimensions, weight, inscriptions, and central imagery. Overall, the book offers valuable insights into the study of Burmese silver and serves as a comprehensive guide for both academics and nonacademics interested in colonial Burmese silver objects.

The material study of works of art is increasingly accepted as a field of investigation promising new directions for research in art history. Thus, it is not clear that the Morgan sketchbook originally began, as it now does, with "Christ as I auctor i , writing on a scroll", as Fowler asserts (p. 73, 76, fig. 60). Fowler illustrates it with an opening of a parchment palimpsest, the I Codex Moneus i (fifth/eighth century) (p. 12, fig. 10). According to Fowler, while in Venice, Dürer "adopted a new technology known as I carta azzurra i , or blue paper" (p. 84). [Extracted from the article]

Reading the paper to know the past: Carla Bittel, Elaine Leong, and Christine von Oertzen: Working with paper: gendered practice in the history of knowledge. This collection of essays restores to our attention the important place of paper and "paper stuff" in the gendered knowledge practices of Europe and the United States from the early modern to the modern period. Eyferth's essay brings Euro-American assumptions about paper into stark relief, observing, for example, that into the twentieth century, 'the Chinese burned more paper in religious ceremonies than they used for all other purposes combined' (213).

By collating previous conservation studies and providing a systematized language and understanding of the myriad forces at play in magnetic systems, this book paves the way for future studies using a standardized vocabulary. Heretofore, conservation literature was speckled with papers involving the use of magnets, rare earth magnets in particular, but the field as a whole lacked a systematized language and understanding of all of the interdependent forces at play. In sum, these studies address magnetic mount types (such as magnet to magnet or magnet to ferromagnetic point fastener, for example) for myriad materials. [Extracted from the article]
