A scanned newspaper page combines a portrait-advertisement layout with a historical article and two reproduced photographs.

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A vertically oriented newspaper page is shown. The left side contains an advertisement for portrait backgrounds, with four small sample portraits, large prices, and a store logo. The right side contains a multi-column article headed “ISLAND,” with a small portrait, a larger reproduced photograph of a seated man outside a wooden building, and a caption beneath it.

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.

James Jesse Strang (left), the island's founder, went from devout Mormon to self-appointed King to murder victim. Stan Floyd (right) is a native of the island. Although he has traveled, he was drawn back to the island.

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 catalogue identifies this as “Page 5,” posted to the Beaver Island Historical Society Facebook page on 2019-04-10. The archive record gives the filename 2019-04-10_1108686519339636.jpg and dates the retrieved source file to 2019-04-10.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

The small print in the advertisement and much of the article text are difficult to read. The surname in the photograph caption may be “Floyd,” but the image text is not fully clear.

Rights and credit

Community source, no stated terms; published non-commercially with attribution and a link to the original post.

Credit this to Individual posters, credited per image when you use it.

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.
