BEU analysis
Read the object without copying it
Original metadata/analysis only. This text is not a substitute for viewing the cited source object where rights permit.
- The label is treated as a design system/artifact identity distinct from the harp mark itself.
- Guinness documents later variation and redesign of the harp, so BEU does not flatten all label versions into one image.
