If  an established term, in accordance with the usage of the trade,  cannot  be employed  accurately  to  describe the medium or process, a brief, clear description shall be made.  (b) If the purported artist was deceased at the time  the  master  was made which produced the multiple, this shall be stated.  (c)  If  the  multiple  or the image on or in the master constitutes a mechanical,  photomechanical,  hand-made   or   photographic   type   of reproduction,  or is a reproduction, of an image produced in a different medium, for a purpose other than the  creation  of  the  multiple  being described, this information and the respective mediums shall be stated.  (d)  If  paragraph  (c)  of  this  subdivision  is applicable, and the multiple is not signed, state whether the artist authorized or  approved in  writing  the  multiple  or  the  edition of which the multiple being described is one.   4. Use of master. (a) If the multiple is a "posthumous" multiple, that is, if the master was created during the life  of  the  artist  but  the multiple was produced after the artist's death, this shall be stated.  (b)  If  the  multiple  was  made from a master which produced a prior limited edition, or from a master which constitutes or was made  from  a reproduction  of  a  prior  multiple or of a master which produced prior multiples, this shall be stated.   5.
