Historic characters on clean white backgrounds

Every historic character image here is generated as a single isolated subject on a pure white seamless background, centred with clear margins. That framing is deliberate: it keeps the grid readable and it is what image-to-3D models want as an input. 440 are published so far and more render continuously in the background.
