62 distinct source visuals are used across this edition. They are reference-only, not cleared for production. No AI-generated images were added.

The owner must verify permission, license or replacement before release. Source availability and attribution are not permission. The inherited archive’s full provenance has not been re-audited; an original-media link alone is insufficient clearance.
