Giorgione, II. (Giorgio _Barbarelli_) called.
1477-1511. _Italian-Venetian_

A]

Aa Enter author on first blue line between red lines, under his best
known name, even if a nickname, giving full name with nicknames and
their translations after it, in parentheses. Give dates of birth and
death in parentheses, followed by name of the school to which the
artist belonged. Make cross-references from all forms under which the
author might be looked for.

(It will be found convenient to give all this data on one card, to
precede the list of the artist's works, using on all following cards
the first, or well-known name, only.)

Q Giorgione, II.

_Venice_(Italy)-PalazzoGiovanelli.
Naya, Venice. 993. Silver, 27x35cm.

A]

Ab Write the title on second blue line, at the right of red lines.
Make it as brief as possible, using the important name in it, first.
Christ, Baptism of; Christ, Betrayal of; Virgin Mary, Coronation of;
St John, Birth of; St Peter, Martyrdom of.

Ac Indicate after the title whether it is an easel-picture, fresco,
statue, relief, or a part of a larger work.

Ad Give on fourth blue line, at left of red lines, the official name
of gallery, preceded by city, with country in parentheses. London
(Eng.)-National Gallery.

Ae Give the imprint on fifth blue line, beginning at the right of red
lines: name of photographer, place of publication, date, number of
print, process, size of print in cm., bottom by height.

B Title card. This card should show, a, Title, b, Author.

[Illustration: Painting card; title, with different authors and
galleries.

Holy Family. See
_Buonarotti_. Florence (It.)-Palazzo Uffizi.
Q-G43h _Giorgigne II_. Venice (It.)-Palazzo Giovanelli.
_Ghirlandaio II_. Florence (It.)-Palazzo Uffizi.

B]

Ba Give on first blue line, beginning at the left of red lines, a full
title, but as in Ab make the important name or word the first word.
Christ, Baptism of; Christ, Betrayal of; St John, Birth of; Portrait
of Pope Julius.

Bb Give on second blue line, between red lines, the one well known or
important author's name; the first one used in Aa.

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.
