Picture sources

Every picture on this site, filed in one archive. The photographs, engravings and maps are real old ones from public archives with a free licence; each was cropped, cut out or torn and toned, and nothing was added to it or taken out. The drawings, the papers and the tape were made for Reckon Works, the portraits and project photographs are our own, and the logos belong to their owners. Each print lies beside its index card: what it shows, who made it, where the original is kept, its date and licence, and where to find it. The site's music was generated with ElevenLabs; Reck's voice is the owner's own recording.
