Greetings,

As I understand it, quotation marks imply a part of a whole -- such as
placing the title of a chapter, essay, or short story in quotation marks but
the title of the compilation in italics (or underlined).

A photograph (or any work of art), as it is a whole in and of itself, is
usually italicized (or underlined).

Of course, AP style -- for press releases -- follows different rules than
the more "academic" style most museums follow.  In AP style, aren't all
titles are in quotation marks?

Sincerely,
Jay
