  Primary Fortepan record 50075 and frozen Commons caption both give 1969. Upload and scan timestamps were excluded from the capture date. The full original was matched to Galleria Borghese, Rome. The independent named-site record osm-node1440405490 gives 41.9141133, 12.4921053. A 150 metre allowance covers the photographed subject and immediately adjoining scene, not an asserted surveyed camera point. The facade plaque reads Galleria Borghese and the double-winged front matches the archive’s Villa Borghese caption. This museum point gives the specific building, not a park-centre pin. A 150 metre allowance covers the facade and forecourt. Contrary to shortlist text, no useful bus is visible; practice only because time clues are weak.

Full original-derived 1600 pixel frame inspected: Scaffolding climbs the central and left sections of a symmetrical museum facade decorated with statues and reliefs.

The paired stone columns, balustrade and elevated setting match the Gloriette colonnade identified in the archive and palace operator’s guide. A 250 metre allowance covers the pavilion and adjoining viewing terrace. The distant city is context rather than a precisely identified secondary subject; the limited structure view is practice difficulty. The operator identifies the hilltop Gloriette as a colonnaded structure and viewpoint, corroborating the close architectural setting. https://www.schoenbrunn.at/en/about-schoenbrunn/gardens/tour-through-the-park/gloriette Exact frozen file revision explicitly grants CC BY-SA 3.0.

The full original was matched to Avenida 1ra by the former Hotel Sierra Maestra, Havana. The independent named-site record osm-way146234222 gives 23.13206195, -82.4159132. A 250 metre allowance covers the photographed subject and immediately adjoining scene, not an asserted surveyed camera point. The archive identifies Avenida 1ra from Hotel Sierra Maestra. The mapped eleven-storey former hotel on 1ra Avenida matches Rosita de Hornedo in La Puntilla, not the similarly named ministry tower elsewhere. A 250 metre allowance includes the hotel balcony, street and neighboring low-rise buildings. Practice because palm trees obscure much of the identifying streetscape.

A 400 metre allowance covers the photographed subject and immediately adjoining scene, not an asserted surveyed camera point. The distinctive narrow Girón tower and neighboring seafront buildings match the archive and independent architectural survey locating Girón at Malecón and F. The tower footprint and 400 metre allowance include the photographed approach along the waterfront and neighboring foreground tower. Practice because very few vehicles or people supply date clues. Research based on an in situ survey explicitly identifies the Girón building at Malecón and F, matching the photographed tower. https://portalinvestigacion.udc.gal/documentos/637d74b2451da87735b9a15a Exact frozen file revision explicitly grants CC BY-SA 3.0.
