%X Sa£żetak The successful cooperation of the Vara£żdin City Museum and the Department of Paper and Leather of the Croatian Conservation Institute has resulted in a large number of restored prints rescued from further decay. Each of them can now be presented and shown as deserved. From year to year, approximately ten prints are restored annually according to a systematic plan. This is an extremely valuable and important cooperation for the Vara£żdin City Museum. The paper (Part 1) deals with a brief overview of the Collection of paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings the significant part of which are the prints. The presentation and the description of the most important selected prints that make up the basis of the highly valuable prints in the Museum are described. Within the years of a successful cooperation between the Department for Paper and Leather and the Vara£żdin City Museum a large number of significant artworks on paper have been restored. Two Japanese woodblock prints from the 18th century are the highlights. The author of these woodblocks is the Japanese master Eishi Hosoda (1756-1829). The woodblocks have been produced in the typical Ukiyo art style. We found them in extremely poor condition, with multiple damages, glued to a cardboard base of acid pH value. The prints of the great European masters of graphic art from the 17th to the 20th centuries stand along with the said woodblocks. The prints are lithographs, engravings and etchings/ drypoints. The paper (Part 2) deals with the damages suffered, with emphasis on the conservation and restoration works, and a brief review of the works and their authors
