The title card becomes in most cases a series card, since the title of
an often-represented subject attracts to itself many names of artists.
In such cases arrange the authors' names alphabetically, in columns,
and against them write the names of the galleries where the works are
to be found. Give class and author number in blue ink at the left.
C Gallery card. This card is a series card, and should show, a, name
of gallery; b, names of the artists and their works in the gallery.
Ca Give official name of gallery preceded by the name of the city
where it is located, with country in parentheses.
Cb Enter alphabetically, names of authors, with the title of their
works, one author to a line. Give at the left, classification numbers
in blue ink.
