Part 24 (2/2)
A]
Aa Enter author on first blue line between red lines, under his best known name, even if a nickname, giving full name with nicknames and their translations after it, in parentheses. Give dates of birth and death in parentheses, followed by name of the school to which the artist belonged. Make cross-references from all forms under which the author might be looked for.
(It will be found convenient to give all this data on one card, to precede the list of the artist's works, using on all following cards the first, or well-known name, only.)

Ba Give on first blue line, beginning at the left of red lines, a full t.i.tle, but as in Ab make the important name or word the first word.
Christ, Baptism of; Christ, Betrayal of; St John, Birth of; Portrait of Pope Julius.
Bb Give on second blue line, between red lines, the one well known or important author's name; the first one used in Aa.
The t.i.tle card becomes in most cases a series card, since the t.i.tle of an often-represented subject attracts to itself many names of artists.
In such cases arrange the authors' names alphabetically, in columns, and against them write the names of the galleries where the works are to be found. Give cla.s.s and author number in blue ink at the left.
