This book written by two distinguished specialists, presents the compounds of iron in their context as both painting pigments and corrosion products. It covers the technology of iron, the way in which iron deteriorates, the corrosion of iron, the use of iron compounds as colourants and in early photographic processes, and the conservation of iron. While the extractive metallurgy of the metal, the smelting of iron, the furnaces, and the preparation of the different alloys are not discussed in detail here, an introduction to some of the important technological processes and metallurgical microstructures that characterize the iron objects discussed in the text is provided. The conservation of iron objects is an important and difficult undertaking which has exercised the ingenuity of many. Corrosion often triumphs in the end, as the iron metal is returned to one of its more stable oxides, but the attempt to conserve the iron artifacts of the past has been wide-ranging and many valuable insights have been gained into the preservation of iron objects for future generations. This volume may be seen as a continuation of the theme of detailed examination of metallic elements and the uses of their compounds in art and artefacts, which was begun by the publication of the book "Copper and Bronze in Art: Corrosion, Colourants and Conservation", by the J. Paul Getty Trust in 2002.
