Abstract
The paper discusses various membranes used in conservation with reference to two case histories les Pseaumes de David , a mid-17th c. Tortoiseshell and silver binding, and the Lady Clapham doll's mask restored by the Book Conservation department of the Victoria and Albert Museum. The background to each object is given with details of treatment. Membranes used were goldbeater's skin attached with Mowilith 50, in acetone for the tortoiseshell binding and fish skin backed with heat-set tissue adhered with parchment size for the doll's mask. 21 references, list of materials and suppliers. Photographs.
