Categories for the Description of Works of Art


8. Inscriptions/Marks


DEFINITION

A description of distinguishing or identifying physical markings, lettering, annotations, texts, or labels that are a part of a work or are affixed, applied, stamped, written, inscribed, or attached to the work, excluding any mark or text inherent in materials (record watermarks in MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES).

SUBCATEGORIES

GENERAL DISCUSSION

This category includes all words, numbers, symbols, stamps, and marks applied to the object during or after creation, whether by the artist or architect, his agent, or an owner or other later hand. It includes inscribed signatures, dates of execution, scale, explanatory texts, and other remarks. It also includes texts that are considered part of the art work, such as calligraphy in a Chinese painting, text on a medieval manuscript page, or text written on a statue, as on the scroll held in the hand of a Romanesque sculpted prophet. Watermarks and other marks inherent in the materials should be recorded and indexed in MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES - WATERMARKS.

Specificity and Exhaustivity
A precise transcription or a prose description of the inscription is important to provide clarity and explain unusual features of the inscription. The information in this transcription should then be indexed in other subcategories as appropriate (e.g., inscribed date should be recorded in CREATION - DATE); this makes it possible to formulate queries about types of inscriptions and their authors, as well as their locations, dates, and scripts.

When transcribing an inscription, care should be taken to transcribe the inscription as it is written, with little or no subjective interpretation. While inscriptions, stamps, marks, labels, annotations, graffito, and other texts found on a work may provide information that may improve understanding of a work, their interpretation is often disputed. An accurate transcription or description is critical to the use of an inscription as evidence. All explanatory text that accompanies the inscription (e.g., the location or medium) should be clearly distinguished from the transcription. For example, editorial text could be separated from the transcription by using a colon, as in the following text: signed lower right, below the image: A. Kertész; inscribed by the artist lower right: Paris [Figure 12].

When an inscription or mark is documented, the following characteristics are important: Who made it; the way in which it was made (materials and technique); its location on the object; and an indication of what the inscription says or what the mark looks like. This may include a transcription, transliteration (if it is not in the Roman alphabet), description, or translation. Remarks about the significance of an inscription or mark, and citations to any sources used to identify or describe an inscription or mark, can also be recorded. This category is also used to record the content of works that are primarily textual.

Note that the information found in an inscription is not always accurate. Often "signatures," such as those on a number of works purported to be by Rembrandt, were added later. Inscribed dates, such as those on Corot's prints, may not reflect the actual date of the printing. Inscriptions may also be difficult to decipher: For example, Joseph Hecht's inscription 1:2 means something different from impression number or scale, which would typically be expressed in a similar way as 1/2. The location of an inscription may give it meaning, as is the case of the Gray collection at Harvard. The colophon in a manuscript may be copied in later editions without regard for its accuracy. Inscriptions may have been added to works at sales, such as the Degas estate sale, or by dealers, such as stock numbers or coded prices.

Inscriptions and marks are transcribed during a detailed examination of the object. They may also have been transcribed and published elsewhere. Secondary or primary research sources may have to be consulted to identify the purpose and origin of certain types of inscriptions, such as an inscribed lot number from a sale.

Cataloging rules
For the subcategories in this section, basic recommendations and discussion are provided below. For a fuller, more prescriptive set of cataloging rules for some of the subcategories, see Chapter 3: Physical Characteristics in Cataloging Cultural Objects (CCO), which deals with a critical subset of the CDWA.

RELATED CATEGORIES and ACCESS

Inscriptions and marks are important aids in authenticating a work or object. They also assist in interpretation and dating, and provide information about a work's history. Inscriptions may also help to identify the subject or purpose of a work of art or architecture. Marks and inscriptions can provide clues to the provenance of a work and the history of its use by establishing relationships between works. For example, works that were all in the same collection sometimes bear the same collector's mark. Works that were all in the same sketchbook may have consecutive numbering in the same hand. Metalwork often bears an identifiable hallmark, and similar seals may link various scrolls.

Researchers will primarily be interested in reading an accurate transcription of the inscription, along with explanatory text. When researchers wish to query indexed information contained in the inscription, they will search mainly by the author's name or inscription type, in combination with other characteristics of a work. This would make it possible to identify, for example, all drawings signed by David, or all paintings signed by Velázquez. Specialists may wish to search a defined set of works, such as drawings from a certain date, for inscriptions in a certain medium or location, to find, for example, all works bearing a particular seal of Ito Jakuchu. [1]

Identifying numbers, such as model numbers and serial numbers, should also be recorded in CREATION - NUMBERS. Watermarks are treated as a characteristic of the material used as a support and, if they are mentioned in INSCRIPTIONS/MARKS, they should also be recorded in MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES - MATERIALS - WATERMARKS. Inscriptions or marks found on an object may also provide information recorded in CREATION - CREATOR, CREATION - COMMISSION, CREATION - DATE, SUBJECT MATTER, CONTEXT, SCALE, STATE, OWNERSHIP, and other categories.

8.1. Inscription Transcription or Description

DEFINITION

The transcription or description of the content of the inscription, mark, or text, which includes the material or medium in which the inscription, mark, or text was executed; its support if it is on a separate piece affixed to the object; the method by which the inscription, mark, or text was produced; and a brief description of the content or appearance of the inscription or mark.

EXAMPLES



signed and dated lower left: 1505 / AD [monogram] [Figure 15]

signed lower left below the image: A Kertész; inscribed by the artist lower right: Paris [Figure 12]

Within the floral wreath, the plate is embossed with the letters 'QR' under a crown, with the marking '1st AMN'.[3]



DISCUSSION and GUIDELINES

Optional: Record an exact transcription or accurate transliteration of an inscription, or a description of a mark found on a work.

All marks or written words added to the object at the time of production or in its subsequent history should be noted, including signatures, dates, dedications, texts, and colophons, as well as marks, such as the stamps of silversmiths, publishers, or printers. Inscriptions, marks, or annotations found on any secondary support, mat, mount, frame, or plaque adjacent to the work or on paper or other types of labels attached to the work may also be described here. Record watermarks and other marks inherent in the materials in MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES.

Among the various types of inscriptions, it is a priority to record signatures, dates, and inscribed titles. Inscribed titles should be recorded in TITLES, but they may be repeated or recorded in fuller form in INSCRIPTION.

Form and Syntax
Record an indication of the nature and position of the inscription (e.g., lower center, recto, or verso) if known, followed by a colon, and then the accurate transcription of the inscribed text. Record the transcription so that it accurately reflects case and abbreviations of the inscription on the work. Indicate missing or illegible text with ellipses, question marks, or other conventional notation. Fill in abbreviated text if necessary for clarity, but place all editorial additions in square brackets to distinguish them from the actual transcription. Indicate line breaks with a forward slash.

The transcription may be accompanied by additional explanatory information or a translation. Use brackets for any editorial comment that appears after the colon in the body of the transcription. Use a semi-colon to separate descriptions of multiple inscriptions. For descriptive text (e.g., signed and dated), avoid abbreviations and use lower case. Signatures and dates should be clearly distinguished from other inscriptions. Examples of terminology for this editorial comment includes the following:


For type of inscription: signed, dated, titled, maker's mark, colophon, collector's mark, impressed, graffito, not inscribed.
For the location on the work: lower right; upper center verso; below the left handle; within printing plate.
For typeface/letterform: Helvetica 9 pt bold, open letters, Carolingian minuscule, rustic capitals, dotted delta.


Note unusual or important features, such as when the medium is unusual or different from that of the image, when an artist's name is not a signature, when the signature is in the plate rather than on the sheet of a print, when a date is incorrect, etc. Clearly indicate any uncertainty. Use words such as probably when scholarly opinion varies or the transcription is uncertain.

If the cataloger or a source has translated the text from the original language (e.g., if the original text is in a non-Roman alphabet), clearly indicate the translation by placing it in brackets.

If it is not possible to transcribe a lengthy inscription, describe or characterize it. In the case of groups, volumes, and heavily inscribed items, inscriptions may be summarized. For example, a complex Chinese scroll may have many seals; rather than transcribe or describe each one, it may be preferable to indicate seals present and list the names of the collectors represented. Describe stamps or other marks according to their shape and motifs.

TERMINOLOGY/FORMAT

Free text: This is not a controlled field. However, transcriptions, lacunae, illegible words, line breaks, etc. should be indicated in a consistent way.

RELATED CATEGORIES and ACCESS

Index any important information in the inscription in the other subcategories of INSCRIPTIONS/MARKS, in TITLE, CREATOR, or any other appropriate category. It should be possible to do word searches on the text of the inscription. Researchers may wish to find all works, for example, where the artist is Rembrandt but the signature is in a later hand, or where a specific Mayan glyph appears.

8.2. Inscription Type

DEFINITION

The kind of inscription, stamp, mark, or text written on or applied to the work.

EXAMPLES



inscribed
not inscribed
not examined
signed
dated
titled
annotated


DISCUSSION and GUIDELINES

Optional: Record a term indicating if there is an inscription and what kind of inscription it is.

Form and syntax
Record terms in lower case. If this subcategory is used, it is a priority to note the presence or absence of inscriptions (e.g., inscribed or not inscribed). It is recommended to also record the specific type(s) of inscriptions or marks, particularly signatures and dates. An inscription may be of more than one type, as for example, when a work is both signed and dated. Use the following terms:


inscribed
not inscribed
not examined
signed
dated
titled
annotated
bookplate
calculations
carved
collector's mark
colophon
color notes
dedicated
details labeled
device
dimensions given
foundry mark
graffito
hallmark
handwritten
iconograph notation
impressed
imprinted
initialed


inscribed dimensions
inscribed stamp
instructions
keylabeled
location of subjectmaker's mark
marked
materials labeled
monogrammed
notes
numbered
office address
painted
parts labeled
place of execution
printer's chops
production mark
revisions
rooms labeled
rubber stamped
schedule
specifications
stamped
stenciled
title block
transferred


Use INSCRIPTION TYPE to indicate the presence of an artist's signature, date mark, maker's mark, and other types of marks and inscriptions. Each type of mark should be identified as required by the needs of the cataloging institution, so that it will be possible to search for specific types of inscriptions or marks, such as all monograms, or all works that have dates. It is often difficult to identify whether a signature is an autograph or not. For example, Dürer's monogram has been added to many works by other artists. It must be possible to accommodate uncertainty in this category.

TERMINOLOGY/FORMAT

Controlled list: Control this subcategory with an extensible controlled list, including the terms in Examples above and other terminology as necessary. Controlled terminology may be found in the AAT (especially the Processes and Techniques and Information Forms hierarchies).

8.3. Inscription Author

DEFINITION

The name or a phrase identifying the author or person responsible for the mark, inscription, or text found on a work.

EXAMPLES


Gogh, Theo van
Margaret, Duchess of Newcastle
Painter of Grolier 49
Mayan 8th century
unknown 19th century
unknown


DISCUSSION and GUIDELINES

Optional: Identify the person responsible for a particular inscription.

Form and syntax
Use the rules for constructing names in the PERSON/CORPORATE BODY AUTHORITY.

Since a work may have many different inscriptions, each should be distinguished by identifying the individual(s) who made it. This subcategory makes it possible to associate the person who wrote an inscription, or applied a mark, with a transcription or description of that inscription. Often it is difficult to identify the author of an inscription definitively; in many cases, those who added inscriptions on an object are identified in relative terms, or by the time when the inscription was made.

TERMINOLOGY/FORMAT

Authority: Ideally, this subcategory should be linked to the PERSON/CORPORATE BODY AUTHORITY, which may be populated with terminology from published sources, such as ULAN, LC Name Authorities, and Canadiana Authorities.

Free text: If this category is free-text, the use of consistent forms of personal and corporate names is recommended. Controlled vocabulary or consistent syntax should be used to indicate "unknown hands." See CREATION - CREATOR - IDENTITY.

8.4. Inscription Location

DEFINITION

The position on the work where an inscription or mark is found.

EXAMPLES


upper left
lower right
verso, upper center
below the left handle
along the bottom edge
lower-left leg
on underside of base
within printing plate
within letter block


DISCUSSION and GUIDELINES

Optional: Record a term or phrase indicating the location of an inscription or mark. Use lower case. The location generally refers to a section of the object; it may refer to a position relative to the subject, if necessary (e.g., under the angel's wing).

Include this information if it is required for retrieval. The place in which an inscription and/or mark appears on a work of art may be important to its interpretation. For example, the alignment of the seals on Chinese scrolls can be significant. An inscription found within the image of a print [Figure 34] has a different significance than printed letters that were added to the plate later, or that may have been printed with a different plate. Both these types of inscriptions may appear on many different impressions of a print, while an inscription added to the sheet after it was printed may be unique to a particular impression.

The location of inscriptions and marks can be thought of in many different ways, and the system used to describe it will vary depending on the type of object. For two-dimensional works, the first concern is whether an inscription appears on the recto or the verso of the work. On works consisting of one plane, systems that divide the work into quadrants from upper left to lower right are often used. With three-dimensional objects, phrases such as below the lip or on the base may be used.

TERMINOLOGY/FORMAT

Controlled list: Control this subcategory with an extensible controlled list, using the terms in the Examples above, and others as needed.

8.5. Inscription Language

DEFINITION

The language of the inscription or the language of the text in a primarily textual work.

EXAMPLES



Latin
Italian
French
Sanskrit


DISCUSSION and GUIDELINES

Optional: Record a term indicating the language of the inscription or text. Capitalize the names of languages.


TERMINOLOGY/FORMAT

Controlled list: Control this subcategory with a controlled list. Values may be derived from a source such as Ethnologue: Languages of the World. 14th edition. Barbara F. Grimes, ed. Dallas, Texas: SIL International, 2000. The ISO-639 standard may be used for language codes; however, if ISO codes are used, values must be translated into legible form for end-users.

Back to Top



8.6. Typeface/Letterform

DEFINITION

The name or a descriptive phrase that identifies the typeface or script used in an inscription.

EXAMPLES



Helvetica 9 pt bold
Univers
Gothic script
open letters
Carolingian minuscule
[Figure 31]
rustic capitals
dotted delta
three-bar sigma


DISCUSSION and GUIDELINES

Optional: If it is required for retrieval, record a term identifying the typeface or letter form used in the inscription. Use lower case, but capitalize proper names and script names that are used as proper names in authoritative sources.

Knowing the type of typeface or letterform is useful in the authentication and attribution of inscriptions and makes it possible for the reader to create a mental picture of it. In works that are primarily textual, the typeface or letterform reflects aesthetic choices.

Typefaces and letter forms are identified by names or phrases. If it is not possible to identify a typeface or letter form definitively, note this in REMARKS (e.g., Typeface is close to Gill Sans).

TERMINOLOGY/FORMAT

Controlled list: Control this subcategory with a controlled list populated with terminology from the following sources, and others as required; consult ACRL/RBMS Printing and Publishing Evidence and ACRL/RBMS Type Evidence.

Back to Top



8.7. Mark Identification

DEFINITION

An identification of the mark type or name.

EXAMPLES



Sèvres double Louis
Grindley Tunstall
R.S. Prussia with star


DISCUSSION and GUIDELINES

Optional: Record a term or reference to a mark on the work (e.g., a porcelain mark). Use a name for the mark as found in a mark authority, if possible. Use lower case, but capitalize proper names.

If a mark authority is cited, list the citation for the authority in the CITATIONS subcategory.



TERMINOLOGY/FORMAT

Controlled list: Control this subcategory with a controlled list of standard mark descriptions based on published catalogs and mark dictionaries.
