Inscription and Marks - Related elements #17

Closed StephCornwell closed 3 years ago

Record watermark in materials/techniques - would you include the watermark as a technique? Which guidance is that from?

Otherwise like Related elements as a concept at the bottom of each page where relevant

Watermarks are considered part of the paper - so materials. Need to mention it in that element. In MARC it may be easier to mention in a separate note

Still can't quite visualise how this would be expressed in a record - would it be 1 print; crayon manner on watermark paper, then describing design of the watermark in general note?

I dont think there are any examples, I'll take a look. I think we only need mention a watermark where it is important to the piece. how would it look? Hmm, 1 print; crayon manner on paper and mention the watermark in a note? I dont think we'll have many. I'll try and find an example elsewhere

The original guidance is in CCO but looking at the BM - they record any notable watermarks in the description. I think adding as a note should be sufficient
