These filters run only on confirmed labels — the book's printed captions, the page notes, and where each photo sits in the book — and those name a person, place, or date for just a fraction of the 116 images. So the counts are what the book confirms, not all there is: a photo without a label won't appear under a name, place, or decade it belongs to. Captions in regular type are the book's own; italic page notes are ours, and every photo has a “suggest a correction” link — corrections make these filters better.
The stories of the book, sorted by kind. Titles and one-line
descriptions are a reader's signposts; the quotes and everything behind

beginning, so the setup always comes before the punchline.
Dated sentences pulled straight from the book, in order. Each one is
the book's own wording.
