conservation of ancient monuments, works of art and historic buildings.
It includes the origins of the interest in conservation within the
European context, and the development of the concepts from Antiquity and
the Renaissance to the present day. Jokilehto illustrates how this
development has influenced international collaboration in the protection
and conservation of cultural heritage, and how it has formed the
principal concepts and approach to conservation and restoration in
today's multi-cultural society.
This book is
based on archival research of original documents and the study of key
restoration examples in countries that have influenced the international
conservation movement. Accessible and of great interest to students and
the general public it includes conservation trends in Europe, the USA,
India, Iran and Japan.
