Re-illustrate Series Three from real photographs (40 of 50) - #14

Conversation
Replaces the withdrawn art. Every portrait is now generated image-to-image from an identified photograph of the actual person, so the faces are likenesses rather than inventions. The 10 cards with no verified photograph carry a plate saying so — nobody gets a fabricated face. Finding the photographs (scripts/security-refs.mjs) --------------------------------------------------- Identity is verified, not assumed, because a name search returns humans rather than the right human. Left unchecked this pipeline wanted to put the British Conservative Party leader on Michael Howard's card, a Confederate general on Robert M. Lee's, a Liverpool councillor on Mark Dowd's, a Canadian rugby player on Jeff Williams', and an art historian on Ivan Ristic's. So the resolver requires a surname match against the Wikidata label, rejects photographs dated before 1950, requires a Commons filename to *open* with the person's full name, and carries an explicit reject list with a written reason per entry. Everything that survived was still reviewed by eye against a contact sheet, which is what caught the remaining bad matches. Sources, in order of authority: hand-verified overrides, Wikidata P18, Commons search, then nothing. 24 are confirmed by the file being used on that person's own Wikipedia article. Openverse turned up CC BY-SA conference photography for Venema, Deraison and Ptacek, including a hack.lu 2006 set that also proved the Wikidata P18 for Venema is a different man. Attribution ----------- Most references are CC BY or CC BY-SA and a conditioned portrait is a derivative work, so the photographer is credited on the card back and on the card page, and data/security-references.json carries source, licence and licence URL. Photos that are ordinary bio shots rather than freely licensed are recorded as "supplied" instead of claiming CC terms the deck cannot back. The reference photographs themselves are gitignored. Painting from them is a different act from redistributing them, and `security-refs.mjs fetch` re-obtains the set from the manifest. Still faceless (10), pending a licensed photograph -------------------------------------------------- Gerald Combs, Robert Hansen, Jeff Williams, Gary McGraw, Michael Howard, Ivan Ristic, Mark Dowd, Thomas Dullien, Heather Adkins, Katie Nickels.

Replaces the art withdrawn in #12. Every portrait is now generated image-to-image from an identified photograph of the actual person, so the faces are likenesses instead of inventions. The 10 cards with no verified photograph carry a plate saying so — nobody gets a fabricated face.
