The Triumphal Arch of Maximilian I is a landmark in the history of printmaking and an impressive early example of propaganda. At the time of its initial publication, The Triumphal Arch was the largest print that had ever been completed. Though Maximilian I was not rich enough to complete major architectural monuments, he had the vision to realize the influence of a printed equivalent that could assert his right to rule as well as his ability to do so. Fully assembled, the print measures more than eleven feet tall by nine feet wide. With this acquisition, the MIA will have acquired in a remarkably short span of time the three great giant woodcuts of the Renaissance: Jacopo de’ Barbari’s View of Venice, Titan’s Red Sea, and Dürer’s Triumphal Arch.

Gloves?
Many times gloves can damage the paper further during these processes. Many times the paper is so delicate that by wearing cotton gloves they could tear the paper, and many time rubber gloves could react with the solutions they are using/the paper itself. So hands on sometimes is best in conservation. You will see lots of people doing conservation work in many museums not using gloves.
There are a number of different types of archival gloves available other than cotton gloves - nylon, microfiber, etc.
Gloves aren't usually used for books because they reduce the feeling in the fingers, which makes damage more likely.
