Two scales, different questions
A whole view records the object’s format, boundaries and arrangement. A detail isolates a selected area to make threads, edges or surface features easier to see. They answer different questions: a fine close-up cannot establish complete dimensions, and a room photograph cannot show the weave at thread scale. Keep the images linked to the same object rather than treating an attractive detail as a generic craft illustration.
The ShopiPersia zilu photographs provide a useful example. One shows the seller-stated Meybod floor covering as a whole, while the other focuses on its weave and finishing. The seller’s origin claim remains a separate written statement; neither scale of photograph independently establishes manufacture in Iran. Preserve that distinction when captioning or comparing the images.
Scale, orientation and coverage
A close-up should state where it was taken and, where possible, include a scale without hiding the feature being discussed. Record whether the view shows front, reverse, edge or an assembled seam. A turned or folded object is not automatically a reverse photograph. If an area is not shown, leave it unknown rather than describing it as undamaged.
Retain the full source image when using a crop and do not alter colours to make a material look more convincing. Lighting, exposure and screen display affect apparent colour and texture. A digital detail cannot determine fibre chemistry, age, internal repairs or strength. Those questions need maker documentation, condition information or qualified examination.
Photographs are individual rights records
Two photographs of one object can have different creators and licences. Assign each a stable identifier and preserve its own source, credit and permission status. Agreement to reuse one image does not automatically include every image in the listing. Credit and source links assist traceability but do not supply permission.
For removal, use the individual image identifier or original filename, not only the object’s changing retail title. Record both visible placements and related galleries. Whole-view and detail-view images may share an object record, but their rights and removal records must remain individually addressable.
Compare the evidence
| Object or term | What to examine | Limit of the evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Whole view | Format, borders and complete outline | Does not reveal every surface detail. |
| Detail view | Local weave, attachment or finish | Not the whole object or a condition report. |
| Process photograph | Documented operation and maker connection | Not proof that the pictured workshop made a retail item. |
Practical questions
- Can a detail authenticate a handwoven textile?
- No. It can document visible structure but must be combined with actual maker and production evidence.
- Does permission for a whole view cover a detail photograph?
- Not automatically. Confirm the scope of permission and who owns each image.
