[DCRM-L] Pagination includes plates

[John Lancaster]

I have a 19th-century book in which there are two leaves of engraved
plates that are clearly not part of the letterpress sheets (paper is
completely different in color, thickness, and texture), but that are
included in the pagination.  I can find no guidance in DCRM(B) for the
correct way to record this (any solution will require a note in addition
to the pagination and illustration statement), and welcome any thoughts
on both the specifics and the general issue.  I'm sure there are other
examples out there.

 

The details are:  The first gathering in the book is a normal gathering
of 4 leaves letterpress, with the two (conjugate) leaves of plates (one
an engraved title page) nested within the letterpress, sewn as a single
gathering of 6 leaves.  Most pages are unnumbered, but the paging of the
letterpress ends: ix, x, xi, xii.  A new gathering begins with page 1 of
the text, and the rest of the book is unremarkable.

 

Many thanks.
