- hooke-workshop-corrected.jpg — Revised AI-generated historical reconstruction; imagined likeness, not an archival photograph.
  Edited using built-in image_gen to improve eye alignment with the eyepiece and replace the inaccurate illumination arrangement with one side-mounted oil lamp, a separate water-filled globe, and a non-burning specimen. Original composition and atmospheric lighting retained.
