The images tell their own story of how we see the inner planets but the
eclipse marks a singular moment in time when Venus and Mercury are not
restricted to dawn or twilight appearances but are see as they truly are
in
relation to the Sun and to the Earth.

Are you implying that when we see Venus and Mercury during dawn or
twilight, they do not appear as they truly are in relation to the Sun
and to the Earth?

There is nothing to imply as everything is obvious even if it is entirely
new. If not exactly paint-by-numbers, the astronomical procedure is
straightforward for those who can follow the imaging and graphics


Then you're obviously wrong. But I won't bother explaining why since
it's straightforward for anyone who can follow a logical progression of
ideas and concepts.

Did nobody teach you a lesson - don't bring a knife (ideas and concepts) to a gunfight ( imaging and graphics).

We see the inner planets move around the Sun much like the satellites of Jupiter circle their parent and central planet -

The eclipse is special as the observation with the Sun at the center of the motions of the inner planets is absent due to its glare, only a rare planetary transit can match the event where a planet moves from left (evening) to right (morning) appearance is superseded when the Sun is in view -
