[DCRM-L] FW: Cataloguing question

[Barbara Tysinger]

In a way it resembles modern "lift-the-flap" books, which are usually for children and have flap with an image (or text) concealing another image (or more text).
But for description I wholeheartedly agree with Richard!

There's no formula for this that I know of. When it's weird, use words (and pictures, if you can).

Start with the dimensions of the leaf before folding and pasting; it's folded into x sections, which can be referred to as  sections 1-x; then describe which ones are pasted together, and what's on them all. In a catalogue record of the basic physical structure (MARC 300) I'd call it "1 folded sheet", and present the detailed description as a note to the collation.

The binder must have been so grateful for the challenge.

Subject: Cataloguing question

Dear Deborah,

I have another cataloguing question for you: how would you describe the attached (on a Dutch almanac from 1799)?  It’s not quite accordion/concertina fold.  The leaf has been folded into eight sections, some of which have been pasted back-to-back, the others pasted down to the inside cover of the book.  I hope the photos illustrate what’s going on.  Let me know if you’d like more.

Best wishes,

Simon
