Caption as posted: "From the BIHS Oral History Archives - An excerpt from a 1969 audio-taped interview with legendary island fiddler Pat Bonner (1882-1973), recorded at his family farm by Elaine Smith, Eunice Hendrix, and Patricia Nelson. Bonner, age 86 at the time, reminisces wistfully about the busy Sloptown Road farming community of his youth, around the turn of the century: "I seen the time I couldn't look down the road but you would see somebody coming or going across there, to this house or that house...

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked
An elderly man is shown in left-facing profile wearing a brimmed hat, blue shirt, and purple cardigan. He holds a wooden walking stick with both hands. A cultivated field and blurred farm buildings appear behind him, with red flowers or produce near the lower right.
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.

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 caption identifies the subject as Pat Bonner and connects the image with an oral-history interview excerpt. It states that the interview was audio-recorded in 1969 by Elaine Smith, Eunice Hendrix, and Patricia Nelson, and describes Bonner discussing farming and livestock in his youth.
Could not make out
Stated rather than guessed at.
The blurred background building type and the red objects at lower right are unclear.

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.
