Black-and-white portrait of a bearded man seated before rental and service signs.

Posted to Beaver Island Historical Society (Facebook page) by Beaver Island Historical Society on 2019-04-23 00:53:50. Caption as posted: "Paying homage to the past BIHS director for many many years. File caption "Bill Cashman at Wojan's Bait Shop," date not noted. Enjoy!"

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A black-and-white photograph shows a bearded man with a mustache wearing a horizontally striped long-sleeved shirt. He sits in front of a wall covered with printed notices, including signs advertising moped rentals and lawn services, along with a partially visible outdoor scene and other posters.

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 caption identifies the subject as Bill Cashman and the location as Wojan's Bait Shop. It says the image was posted by the Beaver Island Historical Society on 2019-04-23 and pays homage to a former director; no date is given for the photograph.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

The lower lines of the lawn-service sign and the text on the other posters are partly obscured or too blurred to read.

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.
