Hello hivemind, I hope it's okay to ask a rare materials-adjacent question
here.

My library recently purchased a couple of facsimiles of illuminated
manuscripts and I'm not sure how to code the illustrative content.

The pages of the facsimile volumes consist of printed photos of the
original manuscripts, with gold leaf applied in the appropriate places.

Would I use "illuminations" in the 300 $b and fixed fields for a facsimile
copy?
