Definizione

• Idealized.  A fictional or imaginative illustration; a design created without actually having seen the person or object portrayed (or a photograph thereof). The designer attempted to make a representative or ideal likeness and often succeeds (but occasionally does not). An example is the United States Capitol depicted on the reverse of a Harrison and Morton Inaugural Medal (DeWitt BH 1888-11). The building illustrated has wings greater than ever intended on the actual structure. See representative view.
