Publications such as corpus, oeuvre catalog, catalogue raisonne, exhibition catalog, museum catalog, iconographical dictionary, special subject encyclopedia or monograph on an artist usually contain many illustrations but they are not indexed--you must find the publication and look through it for the illustration you need. Here are some hints for searching Boston University Libraries online catalog:

If you need an illustration of a work by Picasso, you can search under the subject heading "Picasso", then limit to words in subject heading "exhibitions".

If you know the museum where the art work is located, search the catalog using the name of the museum as author; look through the list of titles for a publication covering the appropriate art historical period or geographical area.

If you need to find a picture of a period costume, search the catalog under the subject heading "costume" and limit to "encyclopedias" or "dictionaries", or do a word search "costume encyclopedia."

If you need assistance, ask for help at Mugar Memorial Library's reference desk or e-mail your question through our Ask-a-Librarian service.
