How to Cite an Image - Chicago Manual of StyleArtist (if known), Title (capitalized and italicized), culture/location, date/date range (BCE or CE), material, dimensions (in metric), location of object (museum or collector) and/or copyright or attribution of the image (museum, website etc.).Shrine head, Yoruba, Nigeria, 12th-14th century, terracotta, 31.1 x 14.6 x 18.4 cm (Minneapolis Institute of Art) From Smarthistory.org1.If the artist is unknown, you can leave that blank2.Use BCE or CE if you have a specific date but the above example is acceptable for CE period3.Sometimes images are copyrighted (because the photographer or the museum that owns the object claims that image as their property). Put their name if so, example: photo: Steven Zucker (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0*) from Smarthistory). Otherwise, you can put just the institution that provided the image such as the Minneapolis Institute of Art.*CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 is an open-access creative commons generic label that means you can use the image for no licensing fee if you attribute the image and it is for educational purposes. See: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/Notice how Karla has labelled her images. Are they perfect? No. Sometimes there is information missing because the museum doesn’t provide the full details of the object. So do your best!
