Landing page, per 5/20 discussion, should foreground curated printer sets. Default view would show a scatter grid of damaged characters (~30-50 depending on load constraints) that would repopulate based on user-entered queries (e.g. when user selects 'Everingham' from group of printers, grid repopulates with all damages in Everingham curate group/printer set; or if user isolates 1647, grid would repopulate with damages from books printed in 1647).
Each thumbnail in grid on hover would show basic identifying metadata: printer, date, book short-title. On-click, would lead to Character Page.
Optional alternate view of the landing page could show a table with metadata in columns. Wireframe embedded here:
