How about putting of the “gazettes” in the background with him standing in front in a color to suggest “yellow journalism” or in a weird font that sort of suggests like Nazi propaganda kind of stuff
That's a good suggestion. I've had trouble finding a high enough resolution of a historical gazette that could be printed at 300 DPI. But that's something I can try to explore some more.
I think it might be OK to make the historical does that sort of blurry because you don’t want it to detract from George, and it kind of symbolically shows the kind of “fog of war/illusionary quality”  of the content,  so making it blurry is just suggestive, and it will let George stand out in front of it. You can also if you want higher resolution, take a photo of something with your phone, that will give it a pretty high resolution, and then you can use that in Photoshop. Also, there are some apps that allow you to make things higher resolution now with ai!
You might also play around with slanting the Gazette image/images that you might use, and figure out symbolically if a slant going upward or downward, has some particular meaning. Because of course, propaganda is slanted so you can convey a lot of stuff behind the scenes.
Not to be nitpicky, but I am a proofreader (formerly professionally). Please double check on the word "teamed" in the quotation. I'm thinking it might should be "teemed" instead, but I'm not certain. I'm not familiar with the quote. "Teemed" seems to fit the sentence more accurately, in my view (which, again, may be wrong). Best wishes!
Thank you. I will take a look. I have noticed that sometimes the 18th century spelling of something is different than the way we spell things. Really appreciate the catch.
Because C looks the most like a lie!

Yes...C has the lie as an inflection point. Do I go red, blue or all American?
I love your writing.
I'm not fond of the second or third mainly because of the masonic hand tuck.
I really like your work by the way!
