Hi all,
SIUC has recently reclassed rare books and manuscripts as "fine art"
rather than "library holdings" for insurance purposes. This seems to make sense, as our collections are unique and irreplaceable. As part of this process, our risk management folks would like us to provide an appraisal value of the collection. Obviously a full professional appraisal would require a huge commitment of financial reasons, so that's not a realistic option for us. We also don't have enough staff to conduct an internal appraisal of every item and collection. I wonder if any others have dealt with this issue. Have any of you determined a formula to estimate the value of collections without actually conducting an appraisal?
Thanks,
Melissa

How can you tell if an illustration in a 19th century book (or any period
book) is a woodcut, wood engraving, steel engraving, lithograph, etc.? How can you identify the graphic process or technique?
Thanks,
Mary

Dear Mary,
I have found that Bamber Gascoigne's /How to Identify Prints/ <http://www.thamesandhudson.com/9780500284803.html> is an invaluable resource for identifying printing processes from all time periods (although 19th century processes can be particularly difficult to identify). It would also be worthwhile to invest in a loupe and a handheld 30x microscope with a light if you plan to identify book illustrations often.
Best,
Jessica

Dear Mary,
Gascoigne's book is a good resource; I also recommend the Graphics
Atlas: http://www.graphicsatlas.org/, especially the comparative
feature. For a historical take on illustration in the 19th century,
John Harthan's /History of the Illustrated Book /is excellent. He is
also better on dates than Gascoigne, which can be helpful in ruling out
processes. If you need more resources, I recommend the reading lists
for the courses on illustration at Rare Book School have some good
recommendations: http://www.rarebookschool.org/courses/.
