  <p>Template resembling a travel brochure of some kind.</p>
  <p>You can make the brochure shorter or longer by editing the height of ".part1.page" in the css file</p>
  <p>Images used in this template are from <a href="https://pdimagearchive.org/images/08bc44b3-e49f-49d9-9f77-98362d48716e/">The Public Domain Image Archive</a>. Above is "Piat Gratev Rock" by Sergei Prokudin-Gorsky.</p>
  <p>"...Prokudin-Gorsky honed a technique that mimicked how the human eye processes light by dividing it into three discrete channels. With the aid of special triple-wide glass plates, the photographer would capture each scene three times over — first through a blue filter, then a green one, and lastly a red one. The positive images, when projected using these same filters, could then be recombined and overlayed to produce a gem-bright composite."</p>
