Dear Erin,

Unfortunately, I don't have any access to the British Library collections at the moment due to the lockdown and I am therefore unable to compare the two British Library copies with the images on EEBO. However, the record on the old EEBO interface that comes up for me when searching for "Wing and W3057A" under "Bibliographic number" does say "Reproduction of original in the Harvard University Library"
(http://gateway.proquest.com/openurl?ctx_ver=Z39.88-2003&res_id=xri:eebo&rft_id=xri:eebo:citation:17197334)

Kind regards,
Iris

Subject: [DCRM-L] EEBO copy of Wing W3057A: Harvard, or BL?

Hello! The old EEBO interface (the yellow one) says "Copy from: British Library" on the durable link page for Wing W3057A (http://gateway.proquest.com/openurl?ctx_ver=Z39.88-2003&res_id=xri:eebo&rft_id=xri:eebo:image:106175) but the new interface (teal green) says "Reproduction of original in the Harvard University Library" (https://search.proquest.com/docview/2240876494/17197334)

Several other places in the metadata (and in ESTC) say it's the Harvard copy, not the BL, but I need to be certain (I'm working with a scholar who is making a catalogue raisonné of the artist).

Unfortunately, we're under a stay-at-home order in DC, so I can't go look at the microfilm, which includes the 'tombstone' label and ruler identifying the institution as the first shot for each title [insert rant about key information being silently dropped in scanned copies here].

Long story short: does anyone know for-sure which copy is in EEBO?

Additional information: ESTC and EEBO assume the dedication page is the title page, but the actual title page (usually lacking) is a plate with "THE ROYALL PALLACE OF AUDLEYEND" etched in banderoles.

Thanks,

Erin.
