      - 'Then-and-now: A black-and-white illustration of a wounded centaur, a mythical
        creature from ancient lore, is held up in front of a modern park scene, aligned
        with a wooded area in the background. In the foreground, the centaur is depicted
        limping, arrows embedded in its side, with a look of pain on its face. The
        background, in color, shows the same spot now peaceful and green, with people
        jogging and children playing, emphasizing the transformation from mythical
        battles to everyday tranquility'
      - 'Then-and-now: A black-and-white photograph of a coiled snake resting among
        the ruins of ancient Athens is positioned in front of the modern Acropolis
        site, aligned with broken columns and stone pathways. In the foreground, the
        snake, symbolizing wisdom and mystery, is nestled between fallen pillars under
        the ancient sun. The background, in color, shows tourists walking through
        the restored ruins, with informational signs and fencing, highlighting the
        shift from an untamed, mythical past to a preserved historical landmark.'
      - "Then-and-now: A black-and-white photograph of a silver sword, rumored to\
        \ slay vampires, is held up against the backdrop of a modern museum display,\
        \ aligned with the exhibit\u2019s lighting and structure. In the foreground,\
        \ the sword gleams in monochrome, with intricate engravings and an aura of\
        \ danger. The background, in color, shows the museum\u2019s clean, sterile\
        \ setup, with other artifacts under glass, contrasting the legend and mystique\
        \ of the weapon with its contemporary preservation as a piece of history."
      - 'Then-and-now: A black-and-white photograph is placed over a color landscape,
        aligned with the remnants of old concrete structures, blending past with present
        in a seamless, gradient-like transition. In the foreground, the black-and-white
        image shows an abandoned fortification with a gravel road winding through
        it. The background, in color, reveals a grassy field and sky, contrasting
        the worn, historical architecture with the natural, serene setting that surrounds
        it today.'
      - 'Then-and-now: A black-and-white archival photograph is seamlessly overlaid
        in the foreground, aligning with the columns and lanterns of a grand building,
        creating a stark, hard border between past and present. In the foreground
        image, people in formal attire walk past a large dog statue in black and white,
        evoking an earlier era. The background, in color, shows the same building
        with contemporary elements like parked cars and updated windows, marking the
        passage of time.'
      - 'Then-and-now: a sepia picture of a scary clown from early 20th century is
        held up over an image of a modern day circus, the trees and tents perfectly
        aligned. In the foreground a scary sepia clown is making a scary face. The
        background, in color, shows a quaint scene of a lovely modern day circus with
        grass and kids playing.'

    historical foreground image with a (usually) color photograph of a modern setting,
    creating a seamless blend that contrasts past history with present-day reality.
