Chapter Six - Reproductions and Portraits: Dewey Class 704

Abstract

This chapter focuses on the general indexes to reproductions, indexes of portraits, and catalogs and collections of reproductions. A guide to British sources of reproductions is: British Sources of Photographs and Pictures, edited by George W. A. Nunn, and published in London in 1952. Although this covers all subject fields, it pays much attention to the fine arts and includes lists of libraries, museums, and art galleries. At the end of the work, there is a subject index indicating the main reproduction sources for each subject. Some of these collections also publish their own catalogs or guides. For example, the Witt Library, which is a part of the Courtauld Institute, has issued the following index: Catalogue of Painters and Draughtsmen Represented in the Library of Pictures and Drawings Formed by Robert and Mary Witt, edited by Sir Robert C. Witt, and published in London in 1920 with a supplement in 1925.
