Portrait of an older man in a cap and blue shirt holding a small object against a dark background.

Posted to Beaver Island Historical Society (Facebook page) by Beaver Island Historical Society on 2014-02-11 17:22:54. Caption as posted: "Awesome photo donated by Steve Salisbury. Steve writes, "This man’s last name was Greene or Green, I believe. From 1959.""

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

An older man stands toward the right side of the frame, wearing a striped cap and dark blue shirt with a small light-colored detail on the chest. He holds a small object in both hands. Focused lighting illuminates the man while the surrounding background is nearly black.

A model wrote this. It was shown the image and the catalogue record together, and asked to keep them apart — what it saw is here, what the record told it is under "taken from the record" below. It is still wrong often enough to matter, about who is pictured, where, when, and what is happening. Read it as a way to find the image, never as evidence about it. If you can correct it, please do: write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com, or see how corrections work. Someone who recognises a face or a shoreline knows more than the model did.

Subjects and keywords

Taken from the record

Not observed in the image — supplied by the archive's own catalogue, and repeated here so the two stay distinguishable.

The archive caption identifies the image as donated by Steve Salisbury and says the man’s surname was believed to be Greene or Green. The caption dates the image to 1959 and records its publication on the Beaver Island Historical Society Facebook page on 2014-02-11.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

The small object in the man’s hands cannot be identified.

Why this archive publishes it. Public Facebook groups and pages run by island organisations and residents. Each item credits the poster by name and links to the original post. Removal on request.

Material goes off the web without anyone deciding that it should: a host lapses, a gallery is retired, a link stops resolving. Holding a copy — with its provenance, its checksum and its holder's terms recorded beside it — is much of why this archive exists. If you are looking for something whose original has since gone, write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com and a full-size copy of what is held here will be sent to you.

Recorded verbatim from the provenance sidecar taken at retrieval — this archive does not restate a holder's terms in its own words, does not add a restriction the holder did not state, and does not abridge one.

The archive holds its own copy of that file and will supply it on request; it is not re-served here, because the holder serves it better and a second copy is a second thing to go stale.
