Make & keep
Place portrait copies on a memory map
Separate a remembered location from a verified one.
A map can connect journeys and portraits without pretending every booth location is known.
Choose the evidence level
Use confirmed places for exact markers and a broader area where the location is uncertain. Explain the difference in the legend. Keep the portrait’s sitting date separate from the date of a later journey or recollection. A decorative marker should not quietly turn a guess into a documented address.
Design for the reader
Keep small portraits outside dense labels and connect them with clear nearby text. Use copies and retain independent catalogue records. Check the map source’s reuse conditions before publishing it. For a family-only version, avoid adding private home addresses that are unnecessary to tell the story.
