# Photograph credits and licences — The Fox & Furrow

Every photograph below shows a different, real pub. They are used under the
Creative Commons licences shown to illustrate the kind of room the site
describes. The Fox & Furrow is invented and has no premises, so none of these
is a photograph of it.

All are share-alike, so the cropped and re-encoded versions here carry the same
licence as their originals. Attribution appears in the page footer.

The filenames on disk carry eight characters of the file's own md5 —
`lounge.cae40741.webp`. These are served with a week's cache, so replacing a
photograph without changing its URL leaves everyone who has already seen the
page looking at the old one until it expires. That is not hypothetical: it is
what happened when this hero was replaced.

## Crops

- `lounge.webp` is cropped from an 8064x6048 original to the room: the left
  edge is dropped, which removes a member of bar staff who is clearly
  identifiable, and the band taken runs from the hop bines and ties down
  through the banquettes to the tables. Delivered at 2400px wide so a
  full-bleed hero on a retina screen is not upscaling it.

  Two photographs were used here before it. The first was a different pub's
  lounge, about 40% empty ceiling, which the browser then centred on because
  the hero runs `object-fit: cover`. The second was a panelled wall hung with
  pictures — correctly framed, but flat: no depth, no subject, and nothing in
  it that said pub.

  Note for anyone reusing this image: the room contains two framed paintings of
  nudes, ordinary Victorian pub decoration, one of them fairly prominent to the
  left of centre. No crop removes both without losing the composition.

- `garden.webp` is cropped to its top two thirds, which removes a foreground
  table carrying a drinker's arm, their glasses and a branded bottle.

## No exterior

There is no photograph of the outside of the pub, and no pub sign. Every
usable exterior on Commons carries the real name of a real pub on its board or
frontage, and putting one at the top of this page would present that business
as The Fox & Furrow. The masthead is set type on a painted ground instead.

## Two photographs withdrawn

Two images used in earlier versions of this page have been removed rather than
cropped, because no crop would have made them honest:

- **The Viaduct Tavern bar** (Acabashi, CC BY-SA 4.0) carried that pub's name on
  a plaque at the end of the counter and a brewery's registered slogan along the
  bar front, with eight brand-marked clips and fonts besides. As a full-width
  photograph at the top of the page it presented a real pub, and a real
  brewery's tie, as this one.
- **Hand pumps at the Brownswood** (Ewan Munro, CC BY-SA 2.0) was a close-up
  whose subject was three real brands at full legibility. The drinks list on
  this site names none of them, so the picture and the page contradicted each
  other.

The line taken: incidental branding inside a wider scene is documentary and is
disclosed here — the parasols in the garden photograph carry a lager's name. A
photograph whose subject is a brand, or which names a real business as though
it were this one, is not used at all.
