[DCRM-L] Contemporary "unofficial" editions?

[Harriett Smith]

I saw it twice, so must be an issue with your institution. Attachments also came through.

    <sigh>
FYI, assuming anyone actually sees this, my second attempt landed in my junk folder, too.
Apparently HAL is enjoying the 5th anniversary of the release of 2001: A Space Odyssey!

	All right, lets try this again...
	I originally sent this message yesterday afternoon, but never saw it appear in listserv email, so I went looking. 
	I found that my campus email had flagged it as a potential spoof message and dumped it into my junk folder.
	I'm not sure why, but the original message had the word "p i r a t e d" (without the spaces!) in the subject line instead of "unofficial", and I had also used the P-word here and there in the message.

	Since it happened to me, and I sent the message, I am concerned that it may have been dumped in everyone’s junk mail, so I'm editing out the P-word and resending, to see if HAL will accept this version.
	Happy Friday!

	Hello Everyone,
	
	Here is an interesting puzzle for a Thursday afternoon...
	
	I have a small booklet, circa 1870, that contains what appear to be 2-color lithographs copied from another publication. (We also have the source publication in our collection.)
	
	The source publication:
	    OCLC # 47003110
	    Twelve subjects : the water cure.
	    London : Newman & Co., [1869-1870]
	    12 unnumbered leaves : illustrations ; 19 x 14 cm
	    Title from cover.
	    1 image per leaf; publisher and dates on each engraving
	
	The questionable "P" publication:
	    OCLC # [none yet!]
	    The water cure.
	    [London?] : [Newman & Co.?], [1870?]
	    1 sheet leporello folded to 12 leaves : chiefly illustrations ; 7 x 120 cm, folded to 7 x 10 cm, in cover 8 x 11 cm
	    Title from cover.
	    No place, publisher, or dates anywhere on the item.
	
	I have no evidence that this is a contemporary "P" edition, but neither do I have evidence that is isn't. It could simply be a cheaper version issued by the same publisher. (Although if that is true, why would they not put their name on it somewhere?)
	I don't think it is a modern reproduction, but I don't have any proof of that either.
	Here is what I have found:
	
	Each contains 12 captioned vignettes, 11 of the identical illustration, with one differing in each.
	
	Images in the source publication each include the name of the publisher, Newman & Co, and most also include a date (6 have "May 1869", 4 have "May 1870", and 2 have no date)
	
	Images in the "P" publication are smaller, appearing to have been cropped before printing, retaining the captions but no other text. These images are also a bit muddier in appearance, and have a second color overprint, with a drawn-line frame of the same color. (Thus leading me to suppose they are commercial lithographs.)
	
	Neither publication shows plate marks.
	I've attached a few representative images from each.
	
	So, my questions...
	Could this be a contemporary, Victorian questionable "P" edition?
	If so, how would I reflect that in my notes? Or should I?
	
	Thanks!
	Barbara
