Inn-Yard Stables, c. 1894

Prompt:
Use case: historical-scene
Asset type: archival gallery artwork for The Age of Smoke
Primary request: A practical stable range along one side of an inn yard. Architecture is the unmistakable main subject; any people, horses, carts, bicycles, goods or tools are sparse scale references only.
Scene/backdrop: Brick or plain masonry walls, repeated boarded doors, small upper feed openings and simple drainage; inn facade remains contextual. 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: Long diagonal yard view along the stable elevation. Natural eye-level perspective, moderate depth of field, no fisheye, no heroic low angle, no huge empty foreground.
Lighting/mood: dry clear daylight, summer evening; ordinary believable atmosphere with restrained smoke or haze only where plausible.
Constraints: Britain in 1894; 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.
