Sažetak
The successful cooperation of the Varaždin City Museum and the Department
of Paper and Leather of the Croatian Conservation Institute has resulted
in a large number of restored prints rescued from further decay. Each of them
can now be presented and shown as deserved. From year to year, approximately
ten prints are restored annually according to a systematic plan. This is an extremely
valuable and important cooperation for the Varaždin City Museum. The paper
(Part 1) deals with a brief overview of the Collection of paintings, sculptures,
prints and drawings the significant part of which are the prints. The presentation
and the description of the most important selected prints that make up the basis
of the highly valuable prints in the Museum are described.
Within the years of a successful cooperation between the Department for
Paper and Leather and the Varaždin City Museum a large number of significant
artworks on paper have been restored. Two Japanese woodblock prints from the
18th century are the highlights. The author of these woodblocks is the Japanese
master Eishi Hosoda (1756-1829). The woodblocks have been produced in the
typical Ukiyo art style. We found them in extremely poor condition, with multiple
damages, glued to a cardboard base of acid pH value. The prints of the great
European masters of graphic art from the 17th to the 20th centuries stand along
with the said woodblocks. The prints are lithographs, engravings and etchings/
drypoints. The paper (Part 2) deals with the damages suffered, with emphasis
on the conservation and restoration works, and a brief review of the works and
their authors.
