ILLUMINATION OF BOOKS AND MANUSCRIPTS
The main subject terms are often subdivided by sub-topics, place, and/or time period (to limit a concept or to focus more closely on a specific topic); for example: ILLUSTRATION OF BOOKS -- 2Oth CENTURY or ILLUSTRATORS -- UNITED STATES -- BIOGRAPHY. There are MANY other subjects that may be useful beyond these.
