a photographic image in the style of 1870, {argument name="scene description" default="[SCENE DESCRIPTION]"}, with {argument name="characters" default="[CHARACTERS described in period accurate clothing]"}, {argument name="interaction" default="[Describe the interaction]"}.
The photo has an aged and worn appearance, as it was taken in 1870. It features prominent time-induced chemical stains, heavy grain, sepia toning, and deep scratches.
Significantly reduce the sharpness so that the details of the [SUBJECT] are not crisp, making the [SUBJECT] blurry and low-fidelity.
Greatly increase the wear of the photo, including small tears, missing corners, water damage, and small wormholes caused by insect damage. Add a prominent, jagged diagonal cut across the photo, mended clumsily with old, discolored tape.Prompt variables
