Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked
A monochrome group photograph shows approximately seventeen children arranged in three rows, with one child seated or kneeling in front. Most wear dresses, while several wear shirts or sweaters; many are smiling. The group stands inside a rustic wooden structure with plank walls and beams visible behind them.
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 record identifies the people as Ken Huston, Jimmy Huston, Linda Supernaw, Tom Lockton, Colleen Gallagher, John Peternard, Cathy Licavoli, Susie Lockton, Arlene Supernaw, Celeste Gallagher, Michelle Peternard, Ellen Licavoli, Patti Lockton, Sheri Huston, Julie Supernaw, Mary Gillespie, and Alice Kay Lockton. The posted caption identifies it as a birthday party for Alice, age 5, and Patti, age 7, and dates the photograph to 1959. It was posted by Suzanne Jule to a public Facebook group on 2026-02-12.
Could not make out
Stated rather than guessed at.
The exact number of children and the setting's specific function cannot be confirmed from the image alone.
Rights and credit
Community source, no stated terms; published non-commercially with attribution to the poster 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.
