I don't think anything more is necessary; I can't remember if I finished
my mesage; what I wanted to way was that when I've proofed books in which
the picture or photo illustrated what the text said I didn't add anything;
I just put the word photo or illustration in brackets; and if the scanner
put photo removed I shouldn't think anything else would be necessary; in
fact it would be superfluous. If I'm wrong and people or Madeleine want a
description of the picture let me know and if I can get the book from the
library I'll write something and send it to you and you can insert the
description into your file.
