[DCRM-L] imprint of earlier edition and later edition on title-page

[Lapka, Francis]

I think your inclination to use two 260 (or 264) fields is sensible.

What do we do if we decide that the earlier publisher (Lippincott & Co.) also deserves a tracing? I feel comfortable transcribing the Lippincott & Co. text as a sort of publication statement – because that’s how the piece presents itself – but I feel less comfortable associating Lippincott with the relationship designator “publisher” (in the 710). An RD along the lines of “publisher of earlier edition” would be more accurate.

For the 1870 edition, would Lippincott satisfy the scope of RDA 21.3 Publisher?

A publisher▼ is a person, family, or corporate body responsible for publishing, releasing, or issuing a resource.

Here’s the title page:

Subject: [DCRM-L] imprint of earlier edition and later edition on title-page

Hello all,
I am cataloging a copy of the 1870 edition of S.F. Baird's Birds of North America in DCRM(B).  The title-page contains the complete imprint of the original edition, with date, followed by that of the 1870:
Philadelphia : J.P. Lippincott & Co., 1860
[and]
Salem : Naturalist's Book Agency, 1870
DCRM(B) 4C6.4 says "If both the place and publisher, distributor, etc., associated with an earlier edition appear together with the place and publisher, distributor, etc., of the edition being described, transcribe each publisher, distributor, etc., with the place to which it corresponds" -- so I think both imprints could belong in the 260, one after the other, but the intervening date makes me hesitate.
​Can the repeatable $c in the 260 be used to record the two dates?  I would like to be able to represent what is on the title-page, if possible.

I should add that C.A. Wood's Introduction to the literature of vertebrate zoology (page 218) notes that while the content of the text and the plate counts are unchanged between the two versions, the 1870 has changes to the table of contents, plate list, etc. and the plates have been "retouched and renumbered".
Thanks for any suggestions!
