Notes
|
If the engraving was not a separately published print, the first element
describes the work in which the engraving apeared (e.g., Illustration in:
The Whole Genuine and Complete Works of Flavius Josephus (New York, 1792),
Evans 24437, MWA; (New York, 1794) MWA; (New York, 1799) NNHi).
The title of the work is followed directly by the place and date of the
publication from which the record is being described. Since the title is
cited in Charles Evans' American Bibliography, the "Evans" number
is given. (Consult the Bibliography
Citation Keyword page for a complete list of bibliographies cited
in this catalogue.)
The next code, "MWA" for instance, is for the
location of the
engraving being described. ("MWA" stands for the American Antiquarian
Society.) Subsequent listings (e.g., (New York, 1779) NNHi) give
locations for other editions of the work, in this case for a 1779 edition
printed in New York and held by New-York Historical Society. See the
list
below for definitions of commonly cited NUC library codes.
If the appearance of the engraving is described, the description
appears as the next element in the notes area. A general description of
the engraving is given (e.g., "Full bust in uniform, face front; city view
in distance").
If the engraving has an inscription, it is transcribed (e.g., Inscription:
(in cart. on frame) Engraved / for the / American Edition / of / Maynard's
/ Josephus. / (below) Doolittle / Addad King of Syria, Stifled to Death /
by Hazael, who succedds him on his Throne.) The "/" marks indicate line
endings. Capitalization is transcribed as it appears on the engraving.
