Contemporary editorial photograph, portrait 4:5, a single restoration-before documentation frame. An old circular wooden marble-solitaire board rests on an ordinary pale blue laminate tabletop, photographed from a steep overhead three-quarter angle. Its cross-shaped array of recessed holes clearly identifies the game. Six cobalt-blue glass marbles remain in a loose cluster, interrupted by one sunny yellow marble. Show a small existing split in the near rim and patches of worn varnish, without added grime or exaggerated decay. The whole board is visible in the upper two-thirds, with empty tabletop below. Hard direct flash from camera-left creates crisp shadows beneath the rim and small bright reflections on the marbles. Warm wood, blue tabletop, restrained yellow accent; realistic exposure, clear material detail, broad depth of field. No repair tools, hands, people, comparison panels, artificial grain or artificial blur. No text, logos or watermarks.
