Illustrated seating advertisement with crossed flags, stars, stripes, red chairs, and patriotic lettering.

Posted to Beaver Island Historical Society (Facebook page) by Beaver Island Historical Society on 2023-06-28 16:40:47. Caption as posted: "Reserve your chair for the Fourth of July Parade! For a donation of $20 to the Beaver Island Historical Society, you can reserve your prime seating spot on the Mormon Print Shop front porch. Comfy rolling chairs will be provided along with a cooler full of ice to store your drinks! Call the Beaver Island Historical Society now as seating is limited! (231) 448-2254"

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A square illustrated promotional graphic shows two crossed American flags, blue stars, red horizontal stripes, and two red rolling armchairs. Large blue and red lettering advertises comfortable seating and donations connected with a parade, while smaller text mentions a porch, a cooler with ice, and a per-chair donation.

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 archive record identifies this as a social-media post by the Beaver Island Historical Society, posted June 28, 2023, and credits the individual poster. The recorded caption promotes reserved seating and gives a telephone number, but that caption is not treated as text visible in the image.

Rights and credit

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

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.
