Terrace-End Beerhouse, c. 1908

Prompt:
Use case: historical-scene
Asset type: archival gallery artwork for The Age of Smoke
Primary request: A modest beerhouse occupying the exposed end of a terrace, clearly domestic in scale. Architecture is the unmistakable main subject; any people, horses, carts, bicycles, goods or tools are sparse scale references only.
Scene/backdrop: A working-class side street; attached party wall on one side, room-related windows, simple separate doors and domestic stacks. Every opening follows room use and masonry structure; every chimney follows a plausible fireplace and flue route; roof planes terminate with coherent eaves, ridge, valleys where needed, flashing, gutters and downpipes.
Style/medium: Photorealistic historical documentary image, natural worn masonry, timber, glass and roof textures, grounded observational atmosphere, restrained aged photographic tonality.
Composition/framing: Street-corner eye-level view showing attachment, end wall and compact frontage. Natural eye-level perspective, moderate depth of field, no fisheye, no heroic low angle, no huge empty foreground.
Lighting/mood: warm light with faint industrial haze, summer noon; ordinary believable atmosphere with restrained smoke or haze only where plausible.
Constraints: Britain in 1908; all visible details plausible for 1880–1910, nothing later than 1910. No readable text, captions, labels, borders, frames, or watermark. No modern vehicles, road markings, street furniture, glazing systems, industrial sheds, utilities or materials. No fantasy, steampunk, generic AI-Victorian ornament, extreme HDR, orange/teal grading, exaggerated spectacle or excessive smoke.
