Promotional poster for a historical presentation, featuring a museum exterior, a book cover, and a portrait of a man.

Posted to Beaver Island Historical Society (Facebook page) by Beaver Island Historical Society on 2024-07-22 14:00:30. Caption as posted: "In four more days, Patrick Livingston will be giving a presentation on his book " Eight Steamboats" in honor of his friend Dicky McEvoy. Make sure to be there to hear his wonderful presentation!"

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A promotional graphic combines a photograph of a white building with a porch, a book-cover image, and a portrait of a man standing beside a framed steamboat illustration. Large lettering announces a presentation, with calendar and clock icons at the bottom showing July 26 and 7 PM.

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 image was posted to the Beaver Island Historical Society Facebook page on 2024-07-22. The catalogue caption says the presentation would occur in four days and identifies the book as being presented in honor of Dicky McEvoy; the poster visibly spells the name as “DICKIE MCEVOY.”

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.
