Corner Manufactory, c. 1881

Prompt:
Use case: historical-scene
Asset type: archival gallery artwork for The Age of Smoke
Primary request: A small urban manufactory occupying a corner, its two elevations resolved around structure and internal floor levels. Architecture is the unmistakable main subject; any people, horses, carts, bicycles, goods or tools are sparse scale references only.
Scene/backdrop: Brick walls, repeated but non-mechanical window bays, goods entrance on the side street and complete eaves and gutters. 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: Corner perspective showing both elevations and the whole roof mass. Natural eye-level perspective, moderate depth of field, no fisheye, no heroic low angle, no huge empty foreground.
Lighting/mood: light mist, autumn evening; ordinary believable atmosphere with restrained smoke or haze only where plausible.
Constraints: Britain in 1881; 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.
