<p class="MsoNormal">Hello everyone!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am looking for some advice on how (or whether) those of you who catalog panel-stamped bindings handle issues of the images often found on the central panels of these bindings.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have, for example, a number of panel-stamped bound books in our collection (which almost always seem to be found on alum-tawed bindings) that have readily identifiable images, among them Luther and Melanchthon, the Biblical figures Judith
and Jael, and one (so far) with two panels that are clearly copied from Lucas Cranach’s painting “Allegory of Law and Grace.”<br>
<br>
I am wondering about the best way to make this information available for researchers who might be interested not simply in the fact that we have a number of panel-stamped bindings in our holdings but who want to find specific stamps or kinds of content (e.g.
religious, etc.)<br>
<br>
Do any of you have recommendations or examples of bibliographic records I might use as a model?<br>
<br>
Many thanks for your assistance!<o:p></o:p></p>
