Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A square promotional graphic combines a dark blue, water-like background with a faint image of a white structure or display bearing partial lettering. Large white text fills the center, with a large red question at the bottom. Smaller lettering appears across the upper portion of the image.

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.

WHO WILL SURVIVE?

Taken from the record

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

Posted to the Beaver Island Historical Society Facebook page on 2023-07-18. The catalogue record identifies the source as a community photograph collection and the object class as photograph.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

The upper lettering is partly obscured; the visible text appears to begin "CARL D. BR..." and a smaller word above the center appears to end in "HOUSE." The image is a designed graphic combining text with a faint photographic background.

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.
