Wider Terrace at a Corner, c. 1899

Prompt:
Use case: historical-scene
Asset type: archival gallery artwork for The Age of Smoke
Primary request: A continuous row of wider 22-foot terrace houses terminating at a street corner, with the end house gaining a true exposed flank. Architecture is the unmistakable main subject; any people, horses, carts, bicycles, goods or tools are sparse scale references only.
Scene/backdrop: A developed English town corner; coherent paired rooms-abreast logic, box-sash openings tied to rooms, slate roof planes and rainwater goods. 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: Three-quarter view across the junction, showing the terrace front and only the exposed end wall. Natural eye-level perspective, moderate depth of field, no fisheye, no heroic low angle, no huge empty foreground.
Lighting/mood: clear and fresh, spring dawn; ordinary believable atmosphere with restrained smoke or haze only where plausible.
Constraints: Britain in 1899; 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.
