<font><font face="georgia,serif">Sorry to have slandered DFo's cataloger (anyone we know?). I'm working on the fly here with lots of windows and tabs open. A professor noted a typo in our record, and I up and got curious; but we're going crazy preparing to send 100K books offsite before the John Hay library closes down for a year+ for a highly cosmetic renovation (you'll hardly know it's a library when they're done), s</font></font><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">o I've added a note to our local records.

find instructions for restrikes, and your options for treating them as different issues/editions or not in DCRM(G). I’m up against a deadline at the moment, but can point you to the relevant sections this evening.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

1590 and 1600, but this impression later]” -- not great, but it is coded as “less than full level cataloging” so that it can be upgraded easily, and to warn people away from treating it canonically.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">I am faced with rather a rather badly cataloged volume containing Jan van der Straet's series of engravings
<i>Venationes</i> and <i>Vermis sericus</i>. They are bound together, and were printed at the same time in the same manner: chine-collé, the thinner paper rather grey, the mounting paper thick laid stock. The <i>Vermis sericus</i> plates are in their final
state, with the name of the publisher, Philippe Galle, crudely scratched out in all six plates.</span><u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">Given the method, these have to be 19th, or
<i>perhaps</i> late 18th-century strikes (though the plates have held up reasonably well). They're in an early 20th-century binding, but dirt on the first page indicates that this was a re-binding, done by B.H. Blackwell, as dealers or for the purchaser of
our volume (in 1929, for $80...).</span><u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">There is no one record in OCLC for these publications that corresponds to this description, though some refer to "mounted" prints, which could indicate in some cases an ignorant description of
chine-collé. But apart from that, is there any point in worrying about this being an "issue" or "edition" worthy of its own record? Even if not technically so, there are so many dups at this point that it hardly matters, and at least I have a shot at describing
then with some degree of precision.</span><u></u><u></u></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">(I do note that the Folger has cataloged its copy of
<i>Vermis sericus</i> with a note "Printed on wove paper", a clear hint that these plates met paper a couple of centuries after they were engraved. DFo hasn't gone further than that in distinguishing their copy from others, which one could hardly do anyway
based on records alone.)</span><u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">I presume that, since these are monographs with title pages, they have to be treated as books, with additional apparatus to account for their graphic qualities.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
