Photography & illustration

The courthouse photo is a real image of the Franklin County Courthouse in Hampton (Calvin Beale, USDA, September 1982, United States public domain; via Wikimedia Commons). The wide countryside background is original AI-generated editorial illustration, not a photograph of a verified location in Franklin County. No city-specific buildings have been invented or mislabeled.
