Yes, good point! And, I often advise students to look for the subject heading X in Art: Bees in art Jesus Christ in art Trees in art etc. -Rebecca From: ARLIS/NA List <[log in to unmask]> On Behalf Of Henri, Janine Sent: Tuesday, February 4, 2020 4:28 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [ARLIS-L] Help Requested Just a reminder not to discount looking for images in books! Searching my library’s catalog, I retrieve a number of digitized books in EEBO and in the Biodiversity Heritage Library using keywords ‘trees grafting.’ But you can also try these subject headings: Grafting--Early works to 1800 Gardening--Early works to 1800 Fruit-culture--Early works to 1800 (and maybe even: Trees in art) And the latest issue of AL Direct includes a link to the Biodiversity Heritage Library’s Flickr site: https://www.flickr.com/photos/biodivlibrary/ (“more than 55 million pages of literature, some of which date back to the 15th century. Some 158,000 illustrations are available for free download in high-resolution files”). For that matter, I also recommend looking for articles and dissertations (perhaps combining different variations of terms such as “Virgil Eclogues grafting”) to see what others have gathered up on the topic.

Friedman Sent: Tuesday, February 4, 2020 11:35 AM To: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: [ARLIS-L] Help Requested Yes, always an interesting topic. Thanks for letting us know about that research guide, Sara, I’ve bookmarked it. An ARLIS/NA colleague asked a question awhile back, and I’ve dug up my answer to it to see what I said at the time. It was in reference to James Hall’s Dictionary of Subjects and Symbols in Art, which requires some knowledge of variant names, biblical history and such, but is very robust compared to other sources, apparently. I actually have that source listed on one of my LibGuides, which hasn’t been updated in a while (although I just added a link to Sara’s guide too): https://libguides.princeton.edu/artfaq/iconography . Here was my response to the Hall question: I have never been fully satisfied with the suggestions I’ve made about iconography/iconographic sources to library users over the years. I know that ArtStor allows some keyword searching but metadata varies (when one wants to search for the subject of a particular work). In addition to my guide (URL above), we have add’l. titles in our ref. room, one being Hall’s Illustrated Dictionary of Symbols in Eastern and Western Art (Olderr, 1992) with small illustrations next to entries. I also just saw the Reverse Symbolism Dictionary: Symbols Listed by Subject, which I never use nor recommend so need to take a look at it. I notice we have this but haven’t looked at it (recently, at least): https://catalog.princeton.edu/catalog/1793016 . I recall adding this title to the ref. room here awhile back: https://catalog.princeton.edu/catalog/956874 and don’t think I’ve looked at this one by the same author: https://catalog.princeton.edu/catalog/1006888. I don’t think I’m aware of any digital resources in this area. Perhaps Studies in Iconography (journal) could be useful to help investigate this question. I found this in my Web bookmarks: https://warburg.sas.ac.uk/special-collections/photographic-collection/iconographic-database . We are in the process of determining whether we will pursue this resource here at Princeton: http://arkyves.org/ (update: we do have access to it now and I have used it a bit for certain types of questions). -Rebecca Friedman, Marquand Library, Princeton Univ.

In the day there were enormous multi-volume sets in various languages in the reference room. Do such works exist any longer or is everything online? In either case, is there any source in particular you'd recommend? I'm looking for images of the grafting of fruit trees, specifically illustrations of a verse from Virgil (Eclogues 9) but actually any image of arboreal grafting produced in Europe before about 1860 ” Can someone point at struggling musician/librarian in the right direction?
