Clipping redo — 1930–1952 (2026-11-07)

Andrew reported that saved clips were cut off and blurry. Every 1930–1952 clip (except the 1950 Lone Ranger pair, already fixed) was re-captured from the newspapers.com page.

Method: Print/Download "Entire Page" was tried first and refused ("Download rate limit exceeded"), so each clip is a Chrome zoom capture of the viewer at 1–2 zoom steps in, framed with margin beyond the article on all four sides (headline, photos, body and end of article). Each capture was looked at before saving. No _fullpage.jpg files were made, because of the rate limit.
