Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A white promotional flyer has a black border, a large orange handwritten-style word near the upper left, and a red headline across the upper half. Smaller black text gives event details and a paragraph describing the lecture. The lower portion shows a portrait of a man beside an illustrated book cover, with a copyright line beneath.

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.

The Two Sides of James J. Strang
Friday, July 23·7:00 – 8:30pm

Author Miles Harvey discusses his new book, THE KING OF CONFIDENCE, which sheds new light on the man who ruled Beaver Island as a quasi-independent kingdom in the mid-19th century. Was Strang a swindler or a social reformer? Harvey reveals previously unknown evidence about both sides of Strang's complex personality.

Taken from the record

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

Catalogued as a post by the Beaver Island Historical Society on July 23, 2021. The catalogue caption identifies the event as a presentation by Miles Harvey about James J. Strang and states that it was offered live or by Zoom.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

Small text on the book-cover image is not fully legible.

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.
