[DCRM-L] 2 questions (concerning dimensions of full-bleed image + trial proofs)

[L'Écuyer-Coelho Marie-Chantal]

Hi everyone!

Once again, I have questions concerning the cataloguing of art prints, and since DCRM is still new to me, I thought it'd ask for your opinion :)

Question #1:
When cataloguing a full-bleed image, is it correct to give, in 300 $c, the sheet dimensions and to write-up a 500 note saying « Image printed to the edge » (in French, I'd write « Image imprimée à fond perdu »)?
The other option would be, I guess, to record « image a x b cm » and to give the 500 note, but for some reason, I fell that the first option -- « sheet a x b cm » + the 500 note - will be better understood by our users (including my colleagues working in the storage areas) ...

Question #2 :
Do you consider trial proofs to be part of the same « edition » than the main print-run, or should I describe them on a separate record?
Since they are usually different from the final proofs, I thought I should perhaps create a specific record for them, recording in 250 something like [Trial proofs], and then recording a general note with the exact numbering (500 $aLibrary's copy numbered Épreuve d'essai #1.$5CaQMBN). Does it seem correct? I am not yet used to record edition statements for prints, so I remain somewhat hesitant ...

Thanks in advance for your kind help!

Marie-Ch.
