[DCRM-L] Folded leaf in a statement of extent

[Will Evans]

Thanks Matt and Larry.



Matt, I didn’t see an analog to my situation in the East Asian Materials
book, and I do see your point about the inconsistency in counting 14 pages
on one side and 1 page on the other. But my approach is informed by the
idea of how times the press was used. The 14 portraits on the one side were
printed individually, and the 1 elongated image on the other side went
through a press once. Additionally I use, perhaps incorrectly, 5B14.1, as a
guiding principle:



5B14.1.

For a publication consisting of a single sheet designed to be used unfolded
(whether issued folded or unfolded), add a statement of pagination based on
the number of pages printed, not counting blanks, as follows:

1 sheet (2 p.)

(Comment
<http://desktop.loc.gov/search?view=document&doc_action=setdoc&doc_keytype=foliodestination&doc_key=dcrmbComment&hash=Comment&fq=myresources%7Ctrue>:
Sheet of any size printed on both sides, numbered)

1 sheet ([2] p.)

(Comment
<http://desktop.loc.gov/search?view=document&doc_action=setdoc&doc_keytype=foliodestination&doc_key=dcrmbComment&hash=Comment&fq=myresources%7Ctrue>:
Sheet of any size printed on both sides, unnumbered)

1 sheet ([3] p.)

(Comment
<http://desktop.loc.gov/search?view=document&doc_action=setdoc&doc_keytype=foliodestination&doc_key=dcrmbComment&hash=Comment&fq=myresources%7Ctrue>:
Folded sheet with title and colophon printed as 2 pages on “outside;” all
text printed as one page occupying the entire “inside”)

1 sheet (1 p.)

(Comment
<http://desktop.loc.gov/search?view=document&doc_action=setdoc&doc_keytype=foliodestination&doc_key=dcrmbComment&hash=Comment&fq=myresources%7Ctrue>:
Broadside or other sheet printed on one side, numbered)

1 sheet ([1] p.)

(Comment
<http://desktop.loc.gov/search?view=document&doc_action=setdoc&doc_keytype=foliodestination&doc_key=dcrmbComment&hash=Comment&fq=myresources%7Ctrue>:
Broadside or other sheet printed on one side, unnumbered)





The third example here is similar to my situation. Though I now see 5B14.2
seems of offer a contradictory directive.

Perhaps Larry is right. There is no “correct” way to handle this.



Thanks again,



Will

Hi Will,

This is not something I really ever encounter, but since we've been
discussing double leaves I've been trying to puzle this out, too. On the
one hand, if I had only the continuous image from the verso, I'd probably
just consider it one folded leaf of plates. Such a plate could be folded
any number of ways to fit the volume without regard to the content on the
plate so the "accordion-ness" or the number of folds doesn't seem all that
significant. However, if I had only the 14 separate portraits from the
recto, which I assume are laid out consistent with the folding, then I
would be more inclined to treat it as [14] leaves of plates, with a note to
the effect that the leaves are on a continuous sheet folded accordion style.

With content laid out differently on both sides, it's more confusing,
though it seems to me that counting it as 14 pages on one side but only 1
page on the other side seems inconsistent, especially since results in an
odd number of pages in this case. So, my hunch is that it's either [1]
folded leaf of plates or [28] pages of plates, with an explanatory note in
either case.

There's some useful guidance on extent and notes for accordion-style
resources in Descriptive Cataloging of East Asian Materials chapter 2:

The recent discussion on double leaves has me second guessing how a feature
I often encounter in artist books is represented in the statement of
extent, namely a sizable leaf, folded accordion style.

I’m working on such an artist book that has pages of letterpress as well as
one long leaf folded several times. The recto contains several images, and
the verso contains one, continuous image. I have in the past entered the
information in the following manner:





[32] p., [15] p. of plates : ǂb ill. ports. ; ǂc 29 cm





Followed by a note:



Pages of plates consist of one leaf, folded accordion style, with fourteen
portraits on the recto and a single image on the verso.





I’m a correct here?



Best,

Will
