[DCRM-L] DPC: relocating and editing confusing example in DCRMB 7B10.3

[Carpenter, Jane]

Dear Colleagues,

While working on the new edition of Examples to Accompany DCRM(B), Nina Schneider and I went back and forth on which rule to use-7B10.1 or 7B10.3-- to justify notes describing ornamental initials, and publishers' and printers' devices.

Rule 5C1.3 clearly states: "Do not regard ornaments (e.g., head-pieces, vignettes, tail-pieces, printers' devices), pictorial covers, or pictorial dust jackets as illustrations.  If considered important, these may be mentioned in a note (see 7B10)."

Although ornaments should not be considered as illustrations, the sample note for describing ornaments appears under 7B10.3, the rule dealing with illustrations: "Give fuller details of the illustrations, if considered important...."

Current text of second example in 7B10.3:

Woodcuts: ill., initials, publisher's and printer's devices.

Proposed change:

*         Delete the above example from 7B10.3

*         Revise wording of the sample note, and move it to 7B10.1, which governs notes on important physical details

Woodcuts: initials, publisher's and printer's devices.

Any objections?  Improvements?

Thanks for your feedback,
Nina Schneider, Editor of Examples to Accompany DCRM(B)
