<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Not sure about how I’d answer your first question, but I would think that a symbolic image could count as a “representation,” seeing as how one can’t present an image of World War II in its entirety on a bookplate
anyway; and the same is true of an organization (an image of the building it’s in really *<b>is</b>* just a symbolic representation of the organization).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style","serif"">We are beginning to catalog our extensive collection of bookplates at the item level. We want to provide access to the person or institution that commissioned the bookplate, and I’d
like to do so through 6XX and 7XX. Regarding the 6XX, I’d appreciate the collective wisdom of the group on the application of the subdivision “In bookplates.”
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style","serif""> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style","serif"">The scope note reads:
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style","serif""> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style","serif"">Use as a topical subdivision under names of individual persons, corporate bodies, countries, cities, etc., and wars for works on
<u>representation of those persons, organizations</u>, places, and wars on bookplates.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style","serif""> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style","serif"">I’m struggling with how to define the word “representation” in this context. Must the image of the bookplate be a straightforward portrait of the individual or a rending of the institution’s
building, or might a heraldic device and other pictorially symbolic elements count as a “representation”?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style","serif""> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style","serif"">Also, I’d welcome any thoughts on what might be an appropriate relationship designator in a 7XX for a person or institution that commissioned the bookplate.
