<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Thanks for all the responses. My question is posed in the context of *<b>eventual</b>* application of a DCRMR that also includes instructions for graphics. I still have trouble interpreting a volume entirely
of image content – except for the covers – as anything other than “all illustrations” (or a graphic resource, depending on content) in part because the covers aren’t included as part of the statement of extent.

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am no longer a member of the DCRMR editorial group, but had served as chief editor when this instruction was drafted. Looking back, this appears to have been an attempt to rewrite DCRM(B) 5C5, Publications consisting entirely or chiefly
of illustrations. At the time we drafted this, the RDA definition for “illustrative content” was “A presence of image content that accompanies the primary content of an expression.” With that definition, the DCRM(B) instructions for “all illustrations” no
longer fit, but the group felt that retaining instructions for “chiefly illustrations” was important. This rewrite was an attempt to RDA-ify the instruction and provide guidance for situations where a work is entirely illustrated, if we can’t then record “all
illustrations” as illustrative content. Chiefly, we want to avoid having 300 fields such as “1 map : map ; 50 x 35 cm.”
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now that we’re getting real-world use of DCRMR, this is useful feedback, suggesting that the instruction needs further clarification. I think Erin’s suggestion to read this extremely literally makes sense, especially while graphics instructions
are still pending.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I wasn't an original DCRMR editor, so I can't speak to why the rule exists, but I'm guessing that "entirely non-textual" is meant to be taken extremely literally. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">If I’ve understood this correctly, DCRMR tells us that a work composed entirely of engraved images should be cataloged as a graphic resource. Is that correct? Does it matter whether the resource has a letterpress
title page or cover title (for example: </span><a href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fprotect-us.mimecast.com%2Fs%2FaVo9C9rA0jU7ogXi3xwuG%3Fdomain%3Dworldcat.org&data=05%7C01%7Cfrancis.lapka%40yale.edu%7C717d0746b14b477f92cf08dad17f914c%7Cdd8cbebb21394df8b4114e3e87abeb5c%7C0%7C0%7C638052643091332796%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=JG88As8f%2BedzRV2SAdQ9dYu7NZh4xpF%2Ff8Tcd78F1dk%3D&reserved=0"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">https://worldcat.org/title/1290320394</span></a><span style="font-size:12.0pt">)?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">For comparison, DCRM(G)’s Appendix H has these introductory remarks:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">This appendix provides guidance for cataloging formally published portfolios, books of plates, etc. bearing formal title pages when graphic material characteristics are
the primary focus of the description. The primary differences from book cataloging are the presence of the general material designation “graphic,” and a statement of extent counts and describes images instead of focusing on pagination. An institution might,
for example, decide to catalog volumes that consist chiefly or entirely illustrations as books when the images are reproductive prints, and as graphic material when the images themselves are works of art (see introductory section X on precataloging decisions).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">To date, my repository has largely followed the distinction described in that final sentence. For records I see in OCLC as well, volumes of reproductive prints are much more frequently described as books (with
DCRMB) than as graphics. In DCRMR, they’d all be graphics? I’d be okay with such a change, though it is significant.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
