About the illustrations
Last updated: 6 October 2026
Narrative illustrations were created with AI assistance using personal archive references. They interpret the story rather than document exact events.
1. How the pictures are labelled
- Narrative illustration or narrative reconstruction — a painting made for this website to interpret a chapter of the story. Each was directed, selected and edited by Nishant Sharma from family memory and personal archive references. It is not a photograph and may not show places, people or objects exactly as they were.
- Archive photograph — a real photograph from the family or company archive.
- Product render — a computer-generated image of a product, not a photograph.
- Proposed design — an architect’s render of a planned development, which remains subject to planning, statutory consents and final agreements.
- Book pages — scanned pages from The Book of Rutland Square, Volume I, shown with their text.
2. People and places
The illustrations depict Nishant Sharma and his family as remembered and imagined. Other figures, rooms and street scenes are illustrative and are not intended to portray identifiable real people or exact locations. Family history in the story is oral history, as told by Nishant’s grandfather and recounted by Nishant.
