For items printed before 1701, please include the signatures whenever possible. Indicate illustrative matter as plates if the leaves are not part of a gathering but were inserted later. Tables are leaves of textual matter which are also not part of a gathering, but which should be mentioned. If any of the plates are maps, portraits or music that should be specified. Record any kind of illustrative matter that is part of a gathering and that is full-page in size as an illustration.
Illustrations are part of a signature and are counted in the pagination.
If these include maps this should be mentioned. If they are numbered, give the total. Ignore ornaments and titlepage vignettes. Give the source of any supplemental information. Do not give provenance or binding details.
