Figures and background painting from the Panorama

The second image should be used if ALT1 is chosen but either (or any other from the article) could be used for the others - Dumelow (talk)

This article is new enough and long enough. The images are in the public domain, the hook facts are cited inline and any of the hooks could be used, the article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. @Dumelow: Have you done a QPQ? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:42, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
