About this Item
London, Dalton & Lucy 1870. Octavo later cloth (rather dusty); viii,84pp. Ex library with a blindstamp and a small hole at the very top of the title, some small splodges and flaws but a totally acceptable copy. Rare and pretty significant in the history of art conservation - this book is credited as the first use of the term 'conservation' in relation to art. Rather than following his father George into the family business - social troublemaking - Holyoake followed in the footsteps of the family lodger, picture restorer Henry Merritt.
