Cloth, 8vo, 24 cm, 365 pp, plates, ills. Introduction repeated in French, German and Italian. From the blurb: "Finding the right picture quickly for a specific purpose is seldom easy. The successful researcher, whether the end product be an illustrated book, a television still or a magazine feature, needs to have as.much background as possible on sources and subjects. And until now this information has only been available if at all in a scattered form. Here is the international guide for everyone and anyone who needs to locate and obtain illustrations for whatever purpose. It is both an informative manual on illustrative and reproductive techniques and other aspects of illustrations as well as a wide-ranging, carefully researched directory of picture sources themselves. The general sections of the handbook cover illustration techniques, history and reproduction processes; the function of the picture researcher and advice on how to start; useful notes on copyright; rates and fees; credits and permissions and so on� The directory section comprises a list of all the major picture sources of the world, and aims to include, too, all sources, of a general or specialised kind, holding historical or modern subjects which the compilers believe will be of practical value to picture researchers in all but the most highly specialised fields. The sources themselves are described in such a way as to provide all essential information in a readily accessible form." Near Very Good in price-clipped dustwrapper.
