    How this photo was verified

    Frozen source revision records capture date 1951-03-16; reviewed as 1951, not upload, building construction or other contextual years. Anefo caption explicitly says elephants at Schiphol from Bangkok. Schiphol’s own history places pre-1967 operations in Schiphol-Oost, located by Q2527753. Exact hangar is unresolved, so a disclosed 2.5 km airport-site allowance covers the historical operating area and modern central terminal; no claim of a surveyed hangar pin. Elephants, handlers, aircraft markings and hangar doors are crisp. This is a non-graphic historical transport scene; original framing and visible chains retained.

    How this photo was verified

    Frozen source revision records capture date Taken on 22 January 1952; reviewed as 1952, not upload, building construction or other contextual years. Anefo caption explicitly names Keizersgracht at Leidsestraat. OSM shared street node 4851679559 fixes the northeastern quay at that bridge. A 0.5 km allowance includes both banks and the photographed recovery area; no city-centre substitution. Car grille, lifting cable, workers, boat and opposite facades are clear. Small far-right edge loss does not obscure useful clues.

    Frozen source revision records capture date 1954-03-12; reviewed as 1954, not upload, building construction or other contextual years. Anefo caption explicitly identifies Velsertunnel construction and North Sea Canal shipping. Wikidata Q2670844 locates the tunnel; 0.75 km covers both banks and the approach excavation without claiming an exact camera position. Excavation, rails, crane lettering and ship silhouette are legible. Light archival scratches do not obscure the subjects.

    Frozen source revision records capture date 1956-08-24; reviewed as 1956, not upload, building construction or other contextual years. Source caption names Keizersgracht and its frozen Location template supplies this canal point. Continuous canal-house frontage and waterway match that setting; 0.5 km is a local canal allowance, not a city default. Gabled facades, parked cars, bicycles, spectators and boat lettering are clear.

Q79309314 locates the same house; its turreted veranda and gable pattern match the image. A 0.5 km allowance covers the property rather than central Palmerston North.

    How this photo was verified

    Frozen source revision records capture date 2023-06-28 21:51:04; reviewed as 2023, not upload date or a contextual building year. Caption body and timestamp agree on Wednesday 28 June 2023; its introductory Saturday label is an editorial weekday error, not a different year. City cultural department caption explicitly identifies the MAF event. Gallery signage and governmental branding match that account. Q18286243 fixes the museum at República de Guatemala; 0.25 km covers the building, not all museums mentioned in the wider caption. Performers, microphones, gallery architecture and institutional lettering are sharp. Background exhibition photographs are incidental to the event scene.

Pipes, hillside roads, structures and small vehicles remain interpretable. Dark upper hillside and slide border are authentic; no tonal reconstruction.

NARA 546616 caption identifies the Anacostia crossing and source notes name John Philip Sousa Bridge. Q6252776 fixes the bridge at 38.8769,-76.9779.

NARA 549974 source correction explicitly identifies Independence Mall north of Independence Hall. Visible hall and surrounding skyline support that orientation.

Hall, umbrellas, shoppers and stalls remain readable in the warm, slightly hazy original slide. No colour reconstruction.

Visible Quadrangle stone facade matches Q17028094; university honorary-award record confirms the 1927 Great Hall ceremony. A 0.35 km allowance covers the quadrangle frontage. Uniforms, slouch hats and Gothic windows are distinct despite original grain. Edge blemishes do not obscure the place clues.

    Frozen source revision records capture date 1946-08-01; reviewed as 1946, not upload date or a contextual building year. SLNSW record 93QpGLv1 explicitly names Trocadero and dates the function. Q7660182 locates the former venue; City of Sydney plan 1938846 identifies 505–523 George Street. A 0.3 km allowance covers the historic venue and frontage, not an arbitrary modern ballroom.

Wharf buildings, steamship profiles and skyline remain detailed at zoom. Original panorama, border and tiny dated signature retained.
