The bachelor’s thesis addresses the use of micro fadometer for lightfastness assessment of objects of cultural heritage with the aim of assessing the light stability of selected materials – a wallpaper dated between 1750 and 1850, made in the technique of linocut on paper. The thesis consists of three main parts: the use of microfadometer in conservation-restoration, measurments on selected material and assessment of light stability of selected material.
In the first part, I describe the microfadometer, its use, how to interpret the data obtained from measurements, and the application of these measurements in creation of lighting policy.
In the second part of the thesis, I present the measurements on selected material, the methodology and what the findings were. In addition to the wallpaper, there are also measurments on paper, leather, two different paintings on canvas made with acrylic and oil paints, and measurements on a color photograph.
In the last part of the thesis, I formulated a light fastness assessment and display policy and compared the new policy with the policy formulated before the use of microfadometer.
