Open with the tension inside this evidence: Do not infer identity or employment status beyond the catalog record.
Let the reader inspect Work in America; translate what it shows, who produced it and what it cannot prove.
End with one action for A1, A2, A4: save, compare, question or apply the source.
By the end, the reader should understand how Work in America can inform a decision—and where its documentary-image-collection evidence stops. It can make the evidence visible or audible without hiding provenance and reuse limits.
Open with the artifact itself, then reveal the operational question hidden inside it. The reveal is Work in America, not a generic stock illustration.
