[DCRM-L] Help with illustration term

[Schneider, Nina]

Very true. I used the search function for a variety of terms that don't
exist, but then I hit upon the idea of a NT for Illustrated works. 
 
You are always welcome to propose a term if the RBMS Controlled
Vocabularies are lacking.

Hmm, this looks promising.  We did check the RBMS thesauri first, but it
was a case of "if you don't know what it's called you can't look it up."

Dorothy:

 

Did you check the RBMS thesaurus? I think the term "Metamorphic
pictures" could be used.

We need help describing what are, for want of a better term, "lift the
flap" type illustrations in  a 1841 Obstetrics atlas.  In this case, the
illustrations are generally of various "fetus in womb" situations, and
the reader lifts one or more flaps to see the progression of the image.

 

We've run across this lacunae in the terminology before with "pop-up"
type illustrations in a 16th century mathematical work they weren't
volvelles, but illustrations or tables that changed as you pulled on
flaps.  "Pop-up books" exists in AAT as a term for a work consisting
primarily of these interactive illustrations, but there's no terminology
for the individual types of illustrations themselves.

 

I appeal to the collective wisdom of the list for help!
