NOTES FOR CONTRIBUTORS ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHS

 

Photographs should be black and white, of a professional standard, and taken directly from the object and not from a book or any other reproduction. Digital images should be supplied at a minimum of 300 dpi, which can be converted to CYMK from RGB files.

 

Authors should obtain photographs and permission to reproduce them in Print Quarterly from the museum or collector. Authors should make clear to the owner at this stage that Print Quarterly is a scholarly magazine run by a charity, and it cannot therefore pay reproduction fees. Only in exceptional cases does Print Quarterly refund authors for the cost of obtaining photographs.

 

Photographs should be black and white positives; transparencies can be used, although the quality of the reproduction will suffer. No labels should ever be attached to the back of photographs, nor should paper clips be used. Each photograph should be numbered on its back, but authors should be careful not to offset ink from the back of one photograph to the front of another (a common occurrence!)

 

Illustrations for an article should be listed on a separate sheet accompanying the photographs. The following information must be provided by the author and typed double‑spaced:

 

1.                  Name of printmaker, or of artist if not a print.

2.                  Title (in italics).

3.                  Year, if known.

4.                  Medium, described in full.

5.                  Measurements in millimetres, height before width, to the platemark in the case of intaglio prints, to the edges of the image otherwise; if either is unknown, please specify that the measurements are of the sheet.

6.                  Collection, giving the full credit line as required by the owner.
