That's true. It was the only canonical mention of unveiling that I could think of, though. Perhaps there are others... hmm...
Wait, I know another mention. And this time it has to make sense.
"As if a dark veil had been withdrawn, the Mirror grew grey, and then clear." ~The Mirror of Galadriel
The Mirror reflects the stars and sky before the above happens.
Sam only sees the future. Frodo sees the present/future/recent past. And then he sees bits of history.
-Elendil's ships coming from the West in a great storm (while Numenor is sinking, presumably)
-wide river flowing from a populous city (Osgiliath?)
-white fortress with seven towers (Minas Tirith/Ithil?)
It makes too much sense with Elendil and/or one of his "crew", and yet not enough sense. Curse that Other! Curse the mystery! Curse the friends! *grumbles*
Maybe you're right, and I should start from a different corner.
