Illustrations

Before ordering photographs, contributors should discuss with the Editor the level of illustration that is possible or desirable, and obtain guidance as to the overall budget that is available from the Walpole Society towards these costs. The Society hopes that authors will be able to obtain as much as possible without needing the Society’s support. Colour reproduction is only possible in exceptional cases. The Society (rather than the author) will need to seek support from outside funding bodies towards the cost of any volume that requires copious illustration.
Illustrations, duly captioned and numbered, may be accepted after consultation with the Editor, and originals (not photocopies) will be required. Citation in the text will be in the form (Fig. 1).

The illustrations will appear grouped as a plate section. Since it is costly to amend or rescan illustrations after scanning by the printer, particularly where colour is involved, any specific groupings, size requirements, cropping or masking should be indicated at the time of submission. It is not advisable to increase photographic prints or line drawing originals by more than 15 per cent because of loss of quality (this does not apply to slides or transparencies) so originals should always be larger than their intended final size after reproduction. Photographs should preferably be submitted as good quality, glossy, black & white prints, clearly labelled on the reverse with the author’s name and figure number. The illustrations in the proof will be low resolution for positional purposes only and should not be taken to represent the final printed quality. Bromide prints will be supplied to the Editor for checking quality of reproduction against the original illustrations.

Where illustrations are supplied pre-scanned they should be submitted ideally as tiff or eps files, although jpeg is acceptable (provided the file complies with the minimum input scanning resolutions noted below), on CD or zip disk. The same guidelines for sizing applies as outlined above. Disks must be accompanied by a hard copy print out which is important for checking and sizing. As a general guideline for scanning, resolutions should be 300-350 d.p.i. for colour, 350-400 d.p.i. for half tones; 800 d.p.i. for simple line; and 1,200 d.p.i. for fine line.
