Abstract

A report on a study of the properties of isinglass, a gelatine product derived from fish swim bladders, and its conservation applications. A survey was undertaken to establish current methods of preparation and techniques for use. The chemistry of isinglass was reviewed. Experimental work was carried out to determine the effect of different types of isinglass and the effect of different methods of preparation. This article is based on work carried out as part of the postgraduate Diploma in Textile Conservation, Textile Conservation Centre/Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London. -- AATA
