The portrait/image class: what circulates, what it actually is, and its rights
AUDIT ROW #442 · THE UREY PORTRAIT RECORD AND THE MARKER PHOTOGRAPH'S PROVENANCE
The mystery in this town's image record is that its most-circulated "historical" photograph is not historical at all — and the class item is answered by stating the image record's three provenances plainly. First, the circulating photograph: Sources's photographs ledger already identifies the widely shared image captioned as a 1925 Urey burial as a modern photograph, misidentified — the finding stands there and is pointed to, and it governs this build's image lane absolutely (the photograph is a do-not-pull: never acquired, never published as period). Second, the genuine period-adjacent document: the portrait record of Charles W. Urey himself, carried in the awards and biography record at its strengths. Third, the marker photograph: the image of Post 189's Urey marker (Roosevelt Road and Illinois Street; the marker's text settled by the W-11 pass, HMdb record m=75604) is Duane Hall's photograph, contributor-copyrighted, classed TERMS-CHECK in the W-10 pass — which means, for this run's note and for the programme's image lane alike: the photograph is a candidate for the post-publish photo pass only under a terms check against the contributor's licence, is banked by this run as a note entry only, and no image file accompanies this section. The class closes with the discipline stated as the finding: on this ground, the famous image is fake, the real images are rights-held, and the build prints both facts rather than illustrating either claim.
Principal sources: Sources (the photographs ledger — the "1925 burial" image identified as modern and misidentified), pointed to; this history (W-11 — the marker and its text, HMdb m=75604); the W-10 image pass (the Hall photograph's TERMS-CHECK class).
