Reason
The ultimate versions have been finally retrieved. Although their extraction crashed and froze mine and others' browsers, user Hunsu was able to help me.
Support Though I don't think there would have been a problem if the uploaders had only taken the image at 80% size; there is a bit of softness here. —

Support I did a jigsaw puzzle of Consummation when I broke my leg (after I broke my leg; it wasn't so dangerous a jigsaw that it caused me to break my leg); it was flipping (you know what I mean by flipping) hard. Some Belle backstory; you didn't ask for it or want it? I don't believe that.

Flipping out?

Be careful what you wish for or I might post the X-rays.

I don't think it is Rome though; just some imaginary Romanesque civ.

Weak oppose – There does seem to be something rather indistinct about these scans. I gather the series was intended as a sort of pictorial cautionary tale?

Oppose Per Sca - these are scans from rather dusty transparencies, they all need fixing. --
