Product Description
Illustration Index is a comprehensive guide to the many thousands of photographs, paintings, drawings and diagrams appearing in top periodicals. The present volume, extending coverage from 1982 through 1986, furnishes a handy reference to hard-to-locate illustrations in "National Geographic, American Heritage, Natural History, Ebony, Sports Illustrated, Travel/Holiday, Smithsonian, National Wildlife, "and "Life" magazine. The new work follows the patterns of scope, style, and arrangement set by the compiler in "Volume V" (1984). Each illustration within each journal article is treated separately to provide thorough subject coverage, and there is an extensive system of cross-references. Several main listings operate as key locators to identify every example of a given subject category to be found alphabetically within the book. Some examples are animals, architectural structures, art forms, fish, flowering plants, peoples, occupations, transportation and weather.

A typical citation under a subject entry includes an abbreviated journal title; volume number; inclusive pagination; date of publication; identification of type of illustration as painting, drawing or photograph; indication of color or black and white; and size of illustration. ...

World Painting Index is a monumental reference work designed to eliminate many of the problems encountered in the search for a reproduction of a particular painting. The primary work, selected as one of the outstanding reference books of 1978, indexed 1,167 art books and catalogs published in the United States and abroad between 1940 and mid-1975, and provided access to reproductions of tens of thousands of paintings by thousands of artists from around the world. This second supplement indexes 697 art books and catalogs published in the U.S. and abroad from 1980 to 1989. Following the format of the earlier work, it contains a numbered bibliography, a listing by title of work by artists whose names are unknown, a listing by painter of works appearing in the indexed volumes, and a listing by title of paintings giving the names of the painters. A letter code informs the user what sort of reproduction is cited: black and white, color, etc. Works by lesser known Western painters, women, and Third World artists are included to a greater degree that in the original volumes, a reflection of the changing emphasis in publishing and gallery space allotments. ...
