Illustrated walking-tour brochure with cartoon beavers, footprints, building photos, a map graphic, and sponsor text.

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A two-panel illustrated brochure features cartoon beavers holding wooden signs, a stylized map graphic, repeated footprints, blocks of printed text, sponsor logos, and two inset photographs of buildings. Green and blue title panels, arrows, and numbered photo labels organize the walking-tour design.

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.

Welcome to Beaver Island, America's Emerald Island!
This Historical Walking Tour, a self-guided tour, covers
17 historical sites over 2.5 miles. The Beaver Island
Historical Society is pleased to share this tour with all
visitors and residents. If you would like to consider a
shorter tour, the distance between the Beaver Island
Community Center (Stop #2) and Old Coast Guard
Station (St. James Township Hall, Stop #10) is 1 mile.
Pierre the Beaver, a friend of BIHS, will serve as your
host.

The Society would like to thank the sponsors who
provided the funds for this outstanding tour - Great
Lakes Energy People Fund and the Charlevoix County
Community Foundation. Universal Sign Systems of
Grand Rapids provided the signs and LIAA of Traverse
City produced the brochure map.

- Friends of BIHS

Generous support helps the Historical Society further
our mission of Preserving and Sharing the Unique
History of Beaver Island and the Archipelago.
BIHS also operates the Mormon Print
Shop Museum,
Protar Home, and the Marine Museum.

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 this as a 2019 website image from the Beaver Island Historical Society website, archived from the supplied source URL. The recorded image dimensions are 1000 × 758 pixels.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

Some small sponsor logos, fine print, and the tagline beneath the society logo are too small to read confidently.

Why this archive publishes it. Beaver Island Historical Society site. Community heritage material with no stated terms; published with credit and a link back.

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.
