Improved prompt:
Design a vintage architectural infographic of the historic site, ${historic_site_name}, that masterfully integrates artistic style with technical precision. The core of the composition will be a meticulously drawn front elevation of the building, placed centrally on a piece of aged, cream-colored paper. Behind this elevation, incorporate a clean, delicate line-art rendering of the surrounding natural landscape of ${location}, capturing the unique terrain features and vegetation.
Around the perimeter of the main elevation, include 2â3 rectangular detail boxes that zoom in on specific architectural elements, such as the intricate masonry work, the keystone arches, or the weathered wooden shutters. Each detail box should be framed with a thin, ruled border and contain a caption that is clearly legible, such as "Detail of West Façade â Mortar Joints" or "Detail of Entrance Portal â Hardware".
The main elevation should be annotated with dimension lines that radiate out from key points of the structure. Use a consistent font style for the dimensions, ensuring it is easy to read against the warm tonality of the paper. Assign specific dimension values to give the piece a sense of scale and authenticity; for example, "Height of Central Spire: ${height_value_1} feet" and "Width of Grand Entrance Arcade: ${height_value_2} meters".
To the right of the main elevation, or ideally at the bottom as a separate panel, include a clean, simplified site plan of the ${location}. This should show the layout of the historic site in relation to the surrounding roads, waterways, or other notable landmarks. Use a light, sketchy hatching style for the different land types to create a sense of depth and texture.
The overall aesthetic should evoke the feeling of a hand-drawn architectural study sheet from the late 19th or early 20th century. Emphasize the use of pen-and-ink hatching to create shading and depth on the elevation, using a soft, warm tone that matches the paper's color. Maintain a balance between the intricate technical details and the artistic flourishes that give the piece its character and charm. The final work should feel like a historical document that could have been created by an expert architect of the period.

A vintage architectural infographic of ${historic_site_name} that blends art and technical clarity: a detailed front elevation at the center, a clean line-art landscape of ${location} behind it, and annotated dimension lines with sample values like “${height_value_1}” and “${height_value_2}”. Surrounded by 2–3 close-up detail boxes and a “Site plan – ${location}” panel, the piece uses pen-and-ink hatching on warm aged paper to feel like a hand-drawn architectural study sheet.
