About this comparison
Image-assisted line reconstruction; not exact geometry
Limited source detail: this is a best-effort reconstruction from a small or degraded cited reference image. Both source variants are severely blurred; the repeated name, periods, ordering, and two independent cartouches are preserved, while exact letter style and border erosion are approximate.
Visual rights remain unresolved.
