Description:
Because a lot of Lambert's
manuscripts became unreadable through water damage during the time they
were stored in Switzerland before being transported to Berlin, Lambert
goes into the causes of ink and paper degeneration. Through
experimentation Lambert arrives at the kind of ink and paper that
withstands humidity best.
