Anotations

Scope note:

Works of art designed to be produced so that there is more than one original, theoretically in unlimited numbers. The most common examples are works produced from plates or negatives, including engravings, etchings, lithographs, photographs, and other prints. A record for multiples typically includes general information about a printing plate and the prints made from it. This designation may also be used for sculptures and other works produced in multiples from a plate, mold, computer program, or other device or method. In cataloging, it is useful to catalog the group of multiples as a whole when the individual works will not be cataloged separately, or when there are characteristics of the whole multiples group that do not apply to each item in the group.
