In addition, provide access to the genres and mediums of the materials using ​GMGPC.  Be as specific as your expertise allows.  Genre terms are coded 655 _7; specify the thesaurus in ‡2.

Subdivide published items by place of production. Subdivide unpublished materials by the nationality of the artist if known.  Optionally, further subdivide published items by the place of publication and date of publication and unpublished items by the century in which the artist lived.  Refer to the thesauri to determine appropriate subdivisions for a term.

Note: Some units have used AAT or other thesauri as a source for genre terms.  Prefer GMGPC or LCTGM for visual materials if it does not conflict with current practice.

Examples: 
Intaglio prints (etchings, engravings, mezzotints, drypoint, aquatints, etc.)
Relief prints (woodcuts, metalcuts, wood engravings, relief etchings, linocuts, etc.)
