Ashplant

Image Credits

Every image on Ashplant, and where it came from. This page exists because the sources used to be recorded only in each image’s alt attribute, which is read aloud to anyone using a screen reader: it meant a reader heard a Project Gutenberg URL instead of a description of the picture, and it meant the sources were invisible to everyone else. The descriptions now describe, and the sources live here.

Except where noted below, all photographs and project images are by Erik Simpson.

Episode illustrations

The eighteen illustrations on the episode pages come from student art projects related to Ashplant, by Lydia Scott and LilyRose Weiss, used with permission. The same credit appears beneath each illustration.

Heraldry

The heraldry project illustrates its terms with images from public-domain sources. Each image on those pages also links to the page it came from.
