On other cards. Write at the left of first red line the two numbers on
one line separated by a hyphen.
IV. Labeling
Give author's name in full, with dates, in parentheses, and school,
beginning directly under left-hand corner of print.
Give title, same as on title card, only reversing the form, beginning
under the middle of print and running out to the right-hand corner.
Some collections have more or less descriptive matter on the mount,
but this is to be discouraged.
Give the Gallery or Style at lower left-hand corner of mount 1 inch
from either edge. Use waterproof or India ink in all cases.
[Illustration: Showing proper method of entering descriptive matter on
mounted photographs.]
Stamp name of collection with rubber stamp on back of mount in upper
left-hand corner, 1-1/2 inches from upper and side edges.
The stamp should give full name and place of museum or library,
leaving room above for class and author number, and below for
accession number.

V. Storage
Store sizes Q, O, and D, in drawers of a cabinet, which may be easily
removed to table, or in pigeonholes; stand the mounts on long edges,
with backs to the front, so that classification and author numbers may
be easily seen in turning them over.
Store size F in drawers, but lying flat. These should be taken out of
the drawer and laid on a table when being handled. The drawers for the
smaller sizes should be box-shaped, with sides cut down somewhat to
allow the prints to be easily turned. Those for the large size should
have no front, but the case containing them should have doors.
Note.--Be very careful in handling photographs never to rub or pull
one over another; always turn them from side to side, like the leaves
of a book.
