Images Over 2 Pages and Images In a Sequence

Sometimes images can go over two pages. In the print version this may appear as a single image, but screenreaders will pick it up as two separate images. Describe both pages in the first image’s Alt-text, and leave the Alt-text in the second image empty so it is marked as decorative.

The workflow for Picture Books is different. Go to Children’s Books section for more information

If it is an image that also requires a long description, follow this same procedure, and add the link to the long description below the first image. Go to Alt-text and Long Descriptions for more information.

Example

An image in a sequence is when there is a group of images that are very similar with only slight variations. A good example is from DAISY with a group of paintings of a decaying castle. Follow this link for the example.

If you have an image in a sequence, only fully describe the image in the first instance. In all the proceeding images, only describe what is different.

This can also occur in Children’s Picture Books, and should be treated the same way except the entire image description goes into the single image.
