[Deborah J. Leslie]

Will, can you give us images, to make sure we're all on the same page regarding terminology?

Subject: [DCRM-L] double plates vs. folded plate

Sorry to resurrect this thread. I tried piecing to together some understanding of these concepts from the DCRM archives, but I want to be sure I’ve arrived at the correct conclusion.

If I have an unnumbered double plate (one image covering the entire side of a sheet of which its verso is blank) bound down the center of the plate, attached to a stub in the binding counts as:
[2] leaves of plates

But if an unnumbered folded plate (one image covering the entire side of a sheet of which its verso is blank) is bound-in on one of its edges it is counted as:
[1] folded leaf of plates

I this correct?

Thanks in advance.

Will
