Hi Fatima,
We have a sizeable number of double-sided paintings/drawings, and we do the rectos and versos as intellectual children of the main double-sided object record. This is helpful for us because each
intellectual child record has its own conservation records. So one side might have been displayed and thus has light restrictions, whilst the other would not. But having them as intellectual children rather than separate records
also helps us, in terms of inventory, object surveys, and storage planning.
Hope this helps; let me know if there’s anything else I can do for you!

Hi Fatima
I’m not sure if this is useful but here at the Henry Moore Foundation we have catalogued recto and verso of drawings as
separate objects.
We have also catalogued Moore’s sketchbooks as separate objects, and related each page as a bound or unbound page to a sketchbook where possible.
We use the following numbering system (we don’t add ‘recto’ just ‘verso’ and we only record a verso’s if there is drawing
– not blank pages.
HMF 1234
HMF 1234 verso
All drawings are now published using eMuseum, and the example above is here -
https://catalogue.henry-moore.org/objects/15256
I hope that is helpful – do come back to me if I can share any more details
With kind regards
Martin

Hi folks!
How does your institution deal with objects that have different "works of art" on each side? A page from a sketchbook that has a horse on one side and a landscape of Rome on the other?
Intellectual children?
Components?
Single record with multiple titles?
If intellectual children or components, how do you number them?
a & b?
r & v?
Do you spell out xxx.x Recto and xxx.x Verso?
What do you do when there are two different sketches on the same side?
Thanks muchly,
Fatima
