It strikes me as a reasonable assumption, that the copyright holder for the illustrations is also their creator. RDA 2.4.2.2 (Statement of responsibility relating to title proper--Sources of information) would suggest that verso t.p. information can be used as a source of information (see (b)) so I think you can use it without brackets.
Another route might be to take the name from verso t.p. and use RDA 2.4.1.7 "clarification of role": [illustrated by] Sebastian Ciaffaglione --Ben Benjamin Abrahamse Cataloging Coordinator Acquisitions, Metadata and Enterprise Systems MIT Libraries 617-253-7137 From: Resource Description and Access / Resource Description and Access [mailto:RDA-L@listserv.lac-bac.gc.ca] On Behalf Of rball...@frontier.com Sent: Thursday, June 20, 2013 10:09 AM To: RDA-L@listserv.lac-bac.gc.ca Subject: [RDA-L] SOR from copyright statement I have an illustrated book that has no specific statement of responsibility realting to the illustrator anywhere in the resource. There is however, a statement on the title page verso that reads "Interior illustrations copyright c2012 by Sebastian Ciaffaglione". I can't find any guidance on this anywhere in the toolkit or in the LCPS. I would like to use "interior illustrations ... by Sebastian Ciaffaglione" in the 245 $c; is this permissible? Thanks.
