Catalogue entries

When preparing a catalogue for the journal, please refer to volume LX, The Ford Collection, for layout. Do not attempt, however, to put the catalogue into double column format. Consistency in style and spelling used within the catalogue is paramount.
A typical catalogue entry would be ordered as follows:

AUTHOR IN CAPITAL LETTERS
Cat. No. in bold. Title in bold
Medium; metric measurements
Signature or inscription
