When entering CPAs, I find it difficult to enter the publisher information correctly. Usually a (especially photo card) contains the name of the photographer and the publisher, sometimes under several names. The term designer is unclear to me and I use it for the photographer.

What really matters to me is the general name of the publisher. I miss quite a few names there, especially from American publishers and I cannot enter them myself. So for me the name ends up in the Publisher field as on card and I have to leave the common name empty. I have the impression that this category is being entered by the administrators, so I find it strange that there are duplicates in this category.

Which administrator feels called to comment?

Only example: Kunstanstalt Herz, Kunstanstalt Herz Amsterdam and Kunstanstatt Herz Amsterdam

I think this is a bug and you should be able to add that name yourself. Was always a free input field.

The 'Publisher Common Name' field is now indeed set as a closed field.

I'm going to check with one of the super administrators why this is set up.

Since nobody had a ready answer and the completion instructions for the field give the impression that you can simply add a publisher here, the field has been opened again. So you can just fill in again.

The duplicates are gradually processed by the administrators.

The problem was also reported in the admin forum some time ago, but nothing was done about it.

But on behalf of the Postcards administrators: Thanks Ted! At least many publishers can now be added to the Catalog.

You can indeed see the designer as the Photographer of a card. After all, he is the one who composes the composition of a photo and thus designs it.

Photo cards used to be (approximately 1920-1950) made by a photographer and sold to the respective homeowners or the local manager. Such an operator would then sell them and put their own stamp on them and if he did not, the photographer would put it on it. Often on the back and he wrote in black on the negatives what it was or where that photo was taken. When printing, that photo card appeared with white text.

Processing duplicates is indeed a lot of work. Regular admins cannot delete them, but they can merge them slowly (change each item to the correct publisher, set aliases so that you always have the correct publisher, or change the name).

Also don't forget the distinction between a Publisher as on Card and Publisher Common Name. With Publisher as on Card, you must indeed write down what is on the card, because there may be different notations of a publisher. It also allows people to see the age of a card or the history of a publisher.

Publisher Common Name is a name that is used to make publishers easier to find and see in the overview. Furthermore, all variants of notations of a publisher under that name are listed here. This name is often the general name of a publisher, such as Kunstanstalt Herz. However, if a publisher's name appears several times, it is also important to mention the place. However, it is not the intention to do this if a publisher has moved. That is already clear at Publisher as on Card.

Hopefully I have helped you with this.

Just one more response, dozens of cards further.

The current stack of cards contains a series with or without the following information

Sometimes a card number that seems to belong to a series C -04 from a series, this number stands for the text. Then at the bottom of the card a general number 11768 or something like that.

Now I only mention both numbers with the number of the card, it gets a bit more confusing,

Under the text the name of the photographer ( designer of the card) and at the bottom left or above the vertical center line a logo of the publisher ..... but now in the middle a name of the publisher mmm

I have entered extensive information at Curteich cards because there Curteich is always in the middle line, but at publisher Koppel often the Koppel logo is on the card, but many publishers of these Koppel cards are used. Is the publisher Koppel or the designer and then I entered the information incorrectly for all Koppel cards. Some Catawiki users now use both the publisher field on the card and the publisher common name of both publishers. It doesn't matter that much although there is a huge list of different descriptions of publishers, which in the future could lead to difficulties in retrieving data.

Anyway, what am I actually saying; it would be helpful if someone could explain to me about publishers and publishers.

I entered a card in the catalog (no. 5931611 ) Drususput Hoog Elten, but it turned out that it was already in the catalog. My question is how can I delete this number?
