I have posted in this section of the forum because of the art that is included.

Fundamental to this project is that pictures are full size in the PDF document with at least one correctly placed full size borderless white-filled rectangle behind each picture so that the artwork can be extracted so as to get a full size hardcopy print.

Those rectangles could be for A3, A3 with bleed areas, A3 with double width bleed areas to facilitate production of A5 greetings cards.

This post from John

has been very helpful, as I learned about Rabatment from his book and have used it thus far in one of the pictures for the Art Show.

The law about Legal Deposit in the UK seems to me to be worded as if the publisher does not want to send in the copies but is being forced to do so.

Yet in my way of looking at the Legal Deposit system it is a great way to have my work conserved.

And hopefully soon for me to have some of my art exhibited.

I have five pictures ready thus far and I feel that I need at least two more, some text and a newly coined word to describe the whole process.

I am fairly sure that I once saw somewhere that in the United States of America, where the deposit is with the Library of Congress, that they do not keep everything.

I have been having a look this morning and have not yet found anything about it at the time of writing this note.

I have started to read the following document.

If the Library of Congress does not keep everything then my idea of an Art Show at a Legal Deposit library sort of automatically would not work in the USA.

William

An interesting aspect of the United Kingdom Legal Deposit system is that everything is conserved.

So there is no assessment of merit in relation to which items are conserved.

Karen kindly included an illustration.

May I mention, for the benefit of those readers who may not know, that if one clicks on that illustration then an enlarged version is displayed, and that if one then clicks on that enlarged version then an even larger version is displayed.

Quite a range of possible shapes and possible applications.

I know that using smaller type for captions within articles is a widespread practice.

I find it unhelpful and that it makes reading the captions difficult.

What is your opinion on this please?
