About this viewing order

Original photographs follow the reviewed album sequence, with the back cover last. Associated objects and alternate views remain preserved separately. Display derivatives are EXIF-normalised and visually rotated upright; original files are unchanged.

Whole photographs retain their proportions and documentary backgrounds. Recorded camera/EXIF orientation is respected; reviewed display rotations and the Rotate control do not change the source file.
