[DCRM-L] Correct "Ctry" question

[Noble, Richard]

A slip-cancel imprint supersedes the original imprint, and the clear intention of this one is to identify copies to be sold in Brussels by Gambier. These copies constitute a different issue, and Belgium is the place of issue--i.e. it's a Belgian publication that happens to have been printed in France, so your code must be "be", not "fr". In my own work I'd add 752s for both cities.

I can't find a library record for L.-B. Picard's "Le jeune médecin ou l'Influence des perruques" (I assume this is your quarry) that doesn't give Paris : Martinet--including the copy in the Bibliotheque royale de Belgique (http://www.kbr.be/)

Subject: [DCRM-L] Correct "Ctry" question


I'm cataloging a stack of 18th and early 19th century French plays and just ran across one that has got me stumped. I've looked at DCRM(B), MARC21, and AACR2 and am starting to second-guess myself. I hope one of you on the list can clarify this predicament.

I have a play from 1807 that was originally published in Paris by chez Martinet and printed there by Chaignieau. Our copy has a printed cancel pasted over the original publisher's name but retains the city of Paris and the name of the printer of the original issue. I couldn't find a record in OCLC for the Brussels cancel.

Here's the transciption of what I have (without the diacritics, sorry):

"A Paris, | Et se trouve a Bruxelles, au Magasin de Pieces de Theatre, | chez Gambier, libraire, rue des Eperonniers, no. 16, | [wavy rule] | Imprimerie de Chaignieau aine. | 1807." 

The two lines "Et se trouve ... no. 16" appears on the cancel.

Since I'm creating a new record (according to DCRM(B) 4A5 and E1.2) what country should I use in the fixed field? Since "A Paris" is retained in this issue, I'm assuming I would use "fr". Correct?

Thanks in advance for guidance on this. The Southern California heat wave must be getting to me!
