Title
Titles are transcribed as they appear on the prints. In instances where a print lacks a title, the entry appears at the end in the “Untitled” section. Any subtitles (and additional text) appear directly following the title as it appears on the print.
Stock number
Occasionally printmakers printed a small number in the bottom margin of a print. This number, the stock number, was used in the identification of prints.
Size and Measurements
The parameters used in assigning size categories are as follows:
- Very small: up to about 7 x 9 in., or 18 x 23 cm.
- Small: approx. 8.5 x 12.5 in. (Gale defines “small” to be 7 x 9 in. to 9 x 14 in., or 18 x 23 cm. to 23 x 36 cm.)
- Medium: from 9 x 14 in. to 14 x 20 in., or 23 x 36 cm. to 36 x 51 cm.
- Large: over 14 x 20 in., or 36 x 51 cm.
Note: Images that are not within a ruled, printed border are classified as vignettes.

Some prints list the publisher’s address or identify the publisher solely by address.
