Inherent Vice: Structures

In the previous section, you considered inherent vice within the component materials of paper-based collections. In this section, you will build on that knowledge as you consider several types of composite structures that are found in paper-based collections. These include bookbindings, photographic prints, and various types of reproductions. In these objects, the various component materials interact with each other (and sometimes with other nearby objects) to create additional vulnerabilities.
