Alternatively, create a thumbnail that evokes a sense of time travel and beauty. Use a split-image effect where one side depicts a close-up of a magnificent brass sundial. Its surface should be intricately etched with markings, hinting at the passage of time. On the other side, showcase a young woman in a flowing gown, holding a delicate brass hand mirror. To add a touch of magic, make a faint, shimmering light emanate from the sundial, suggesting a portal to the past. Finally, overlay whimsical, flowing text reading "Whispers of Brass: A Glimpse into History."
