Beaver Island Historical Society site

A worn Hebrew Bible rests open beside handwritten pages.

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A worn, thick book lies open on a dark surface, with its printed title page facing upward. The cover and page edges are frayed, and handwritten pages with dark cursive writing extend beside it.

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 405-by-405-pixel photograph used as a newsletter header on the Beaver Island Historical Society website; the record credits the Beaver Island Historical Society.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

The small publisher and edition text near the bottom of the title page is not legible. The first characters of the line containing BARDI VAN DER HOOGHT are unclear.

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.
