Remarks

The graphic element is provided within facsimile for association of the facsimile with graphic files capable of representing multiple pages, such as TIFF or PDF formats. When more than one graphic element is used, each must represent the same material. When each page is represented by a different graphic, use a surface element for each page.

The decls attribute may be used to link the collection of images with a particular source described in the header.

The model of this element is based on the facsimile element of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI).
