Pages: 19 (including cover and credits). Sizes: A4 (210 × 297 mm) and US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), both PDFs included in one zip.

Printing: Print at 100% / actual size on A4 or US Letter. Inside pages use light backgrounds and print well in black and white; covers are dark, so start from page 2 to save ink. The story cards are meant to be cut out.

Every fact is checked against named source pages from Encyclopaedia Britannica, the V&A, the Royal Collection Trust, the BBC and Culture Vannin (checked 30 Oct 2026), and the sources are listed on the pack’s credits page.

There are no photos in this pack: all drawings, puzzles and layouts are REALLYBYTE’s own work. Drawings are our own simplified pictures: not photographs or copies of real cards, objects or places, and not copied from any print, photo or book. Not affiliated with Encyclopaedia Britannica, the Victoria and Albert Museum, The Postal Museum, The National Archives, Historic England, English Heritage, the Royal Collection Trust, the BBC, the Met Office or Culture Vannin.
