Fakes, Scams and Forgeries details many of the most notorious deceptions in history, describing how they were perpetrated, and how they were eventually detected. As well as describing famous forgers and legendary frauds, the text deals with many modern scientific techniques that have been developed to help counter these criminal efforts.
For as long as historical annals have been kept, they have recorded the frauds and fakes that have been imposed upon innocent dupes. Perhaps the earliest Christian story of all is that which tells of the deception that Jacob practised on his unsuspecting father Abraham, pretending to be his brother Esau; and today the theft of identity is reported to be the most rapidly spreading crime. And throughout the ages works of art and literature, coinage, and documents of all kinds have been forged for profit, personal status - and even out of pure mischief.
Fakes, Scams and Forgeries details many of the most notorious acts of forgery, fraud and fakery that have taken place over the centuries, describing how they were perpetrated, their acceptance by those who considered themselves experts, and how - often after many years - they were eventually detected. As well as providing entertaining and in-depth profiles of famous forgers and legendary frauds, the text deals with the many
modern scientific techniques that have been developed for the examination of suspect materials.
