By Stephan Lumnitzer. Posonii: Literis Francisci Augustini Patzko, [1777].

This slim publication by botanist Stephan Lumnitzer in what is now Bratislava, Slovakia, still has its 18th-century marbled paper wrappers but is housed in an old acidic "pamphlet" folder that needs to be replaced.

Condition and Treatment: 

Conservators will remove the publication from the acidic folder, dry-clean the pages and wash them in de-ionized water buffered with calcium carbonate (pH7), re-sew all of the leaves into an additional acid-free paper wrapper, and make a custom-fitted, four-flap enclosure for it.
