Описание
Итог:Made in 1618 by Dionisio Minaggio, Chief Gardener of the State of Milan, the  Feather Book consists of 157 collages of birds, hunters, tradesmen, musicians and Commedia del’Arte figures.  The latter are the best known and most widely written about, but the entire collection is of interest. I will discuss the Feather Book’s  creation, contents and construction, along with its history, provenance and acquisition by McGill University.  Efforts made to protect and conserve the work will be covered, as will the exhibits and some of the research that has been done on the work.
