center image preview with lightbox and caption

I just wanted a thumbnail or preview of the image, where if clicked it would load into a lightbox, but the preview just shows the center of whatever image is added to it. 

Note: I just picked random images and they are centered, so... /runs

HTML

<a href='https://i.imgur.com/2S7oKAT.png' class='fancybox'>
  <div class='image-bg'></div>
  <figcaption>Click This Image! (or dont...)</figcaption>
</a>

<!-- so now we can just switch the image source, but it needs a new bg class for each, which is annoying, unless we move to ... inline styles -->
<!-- It does make it a bit more messy, but easier to update inline. -->
<a href='https://images.pexels.com/photos/9589961/pexels-photo-9589961.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&dpr=2&h=750&w=1260' class='fancybox'>
  <div class='image-bg' style="background:url(https://images.pexels.com/photos/9589961/pexels-photo-9589961.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&dpr=2&h=750&w=1260) center no-repeat;"></div>
  <figcaption>Click This Image! (or dont...)</figcaption>
</a>

CSS

.image-bg {
  	height:200px;
  	width:100%;
  	margin-bottom:10px;
  	background:url(https://i.imgur.com/2S7oKAT.png) center no-repeat;
  	background-size:cover;
}
/*  */

Javascript

$(document).ready(function() {
    $(".fancybox").fancybox({
          helpers: {
              title : {
                  type : 'float'
              }
          }
      });
 });

I believe that in order to better your knowledge base, it takes a lot of failing in order to succeed. I don't consider anything a failure as long as you get back up and you learn from your own mistakes.

Random CSS Property

inset-block

The inset-block CSS property defines the logical block start and end offsets of an element, which maps to physical offsets depending on the element's writing mode, directionality, and text orientation. It corresponds to the top and bottom, or right and left properties depending on the values defined for writing-mode, direction, and text-orientation.
