1.content & presentation
-
these differ marginally from the version lodged with my thesis, principally to improve clarity and readability, and sometimes to correct errors; I intend updating the information as circumstances allow [Jan 2010]; as well, since around 2000, images and details of Miller’s works are increasingly finding their way to the internet, so an appropriate hyperlink now underlies a work’s title and / or acc no, coloured green as here when the image is freely accessible, and red when subject to access restrictions
-
2.artwork cat no
