Notes

Sourced at width 1400–2000, then capped at 1800 px on the long edge (salon-geoffrin-lemonnier.jpg was not upscaled — Commons has no larger copy of the Lemonnier painting than ~1200 px wide) and recompressed to JPEG. The two engravings (encyclopedie-frontispiece.jpg, konigsberg-plan-1763.jpg) are saved at q85–88 since fine linework and map labels smear at the q78–80 used for the paintings/portraits. The folder totals ~9.4 MB — close to the ~10 MB ceiling. Anything further has to displace something already here, or the whole folder needs a pass at lower quality.
The CSS caps images at the slide height, so portrait and landscape both work. Each <figure> carries a portrait or landscape class — portrait puts the caption to the right of the image, landscape puts it underneath. Keep them matched to the actual aspect ratio or the layout goes strange.
konigsberg-plan-1763.jpg is a crop of a larger atlas plate (the full sheet also carries the title banner “Regnum Borussiae, Episcopatus Warmiensis, Palatinatus Mariaeburgensis” and wide paper margins); the crop keeps the city plan and its legend box, which names the castle (A, Das Schloss), the cathedral (c, Der Dom), and Kneiphof (D) — where Kant taught. Regenerate from the full sheet with:

boileau-rigaud-portrait.jpg was capped at 1400 px instead of 1800: the only Commons copy is a 975×1090 reproduction, so there is nothing larger to source. It displays at roughly 380 px wide in the pair figure, which is well within that.

The Commons filenames are Charles Perrault par Lallemand d'après Le Brun – Château de Versailles.jpg, Anonymous - Portrait de Marie Jean Antoine Nicolas de Caritat, marquis de Condorcet (1743-1794), philosophe, mathématicien et homme politique. - P1668 - Musée Carnavalet.jpg, and Johann Gottfried Herder 2.jpg, and Nicolas Boileau.jpg.
voltaire-largilliere-portrait.jpg is ~25 years earlier than the book it illustrates (painted c. 1724–25; Voltaire wrote the Age of Louis XIV in 1751, at 57) — there is no widely reproduced public-domain portrait from exactly the right year, and this is the most-used Voltaire likeness. The caption on that slide says so.
salon-geoffrin-lemonnier.jpg is a double anachronism, and the caption says so: it depicts a real 1755 event (a reading of Voltaire’s play, Voltaire himself absent) but was painted in 1812, fifty-seven years later and after everyone in it, including the empress who commissioned it, had died. Use it for what it shows about Enlightenment sociability, not as an eyewitness image.
encyclopedie-frontispiece.jpg postdates Voltaire’s book by over a decade (designed 1764, engraved 1772; the Age of Louis XIV is 1751) — it is used as the visual emblem of the broader “progress of the human mind” project both Voltaire and Kant belong to, not as an illustration specific to either text. Say so if using it elsewhere.
machiavelli-santi-di-tito.jpg is duplicated from the Week 3 deck rather than linked across directories, so each deck stays self-contained and a rename in one cannot break the other. If you re-process it there, re-copy it here. It appears on the bridge slide precisely because students saw it a week earlier.
encyclopedie-titlepage-1751.jpg carries a modern red University of Ottawa library stamp in the lower right and a pencilled shelfmark at the top; the caption says so, so the marks are not mistaken for period features.
encyclopedie-titlepage-1751.jpg and encyclopedie-frontispiece.jpg are two different sheets from the same work and appear on two different slides (the title page early, as evidence of the print economy; the frontispiece later, as the emblem of the project). Don’t collapse them.
condorcet-carnavalet-portrait.jpg is dated by Carnavalet only to Condorcet’s lifetime (1743–1794) and the painter is unrecorded; the caption on the slide does not claim a date or an artist for it.
perrault-lallemand-portrait.jpg and boileau-rigaud-portrait.jpg share a slide as a pair figure (two sides of one quarrel), so that <figure> carries only class="pair" — adding portrait would let the .portrait figcaption rule (35% side rail) override the .pair figcaption rule (centered, 92%) and break the layout.
perrault-lallemand-portrait.jpg is Lallemand’s version after a lost or private Le Brun original. Commons also holds the Le Brun (Artcurial) at higher resolution; the Versailles Lallemand was chosen for its institutional provenance.
detroy-time-unveiling-truth-1733.jpg and wright-orrery-1766.jpg (added 2026-09-07) are the cold open — the allegory and the practice — and the only images shown twice: one per full-bleed slide, then both reduced inside .image-notes with the points about them. All four references point at these two files; don’t add smaller duplicates. The de Troy is held to 1700 px / q82 because the folder is near its size ceiling; it is never displayed near full size.

The Saint-Aubin Vue du Salon du Louvre en l’année 1753 (NGA 39500, CC0) was used here briefly and dropped: as a low-saturation brown wash drawing of small-scale detail it did not read at projector distance. Refetch it from Commons if a slide ever wants the Salon itself.
