    <h2>Fluid-responsive CSS Grid wallboard <small><i>(no scaled images)</i> with <a class=lnk target=_blank title="[new window]" href="https://codepen.io/2kool2/pen/mXpwbL">Vignette &amp; Brightness hover effect</a></small></h2>

    <p>Wallboard fills all device widths up to 1844px without stretching or squeezing the images.</p>
    <p>Ideally the images should be 604px wide but <strong>must</strong> have the minimum safe-area of 296px (320px - 2 * spacing).</p>
    <p>The height of a single row image is completely variable.<br>The tall images are calculated as: (2 * single row height) + (1 * spacing).</p>
    <p>Most images are cropped from the centre, though left or right is equally usable, and purely dependent on the location of the safe-area.<br>For example: &ldquo;Mountain king&rdquo; crops left and &ldquo;Empty glass&rdquo; crops right.</p>
    
    <p>There's a version of this wallboard which has a flexbox fallback (supports IE 10) and doesn't use Custom Properties: <a target=_blank title="[new window]" href="https://codepen.io/2kool2/pen/rJbGKq" class=lnk-txt>Fluid-responsive CSS Grid wallboard (no scaled images) with Flexbox fallback</a>.</p>
