Web Site Pointers
wsp
Photos:
On almost all photos on this site, clicking on the thumbnail picture will load a
massive, several-screen wide and tall enlargement and then most browsers will
automatically reduce the image to a convenient size that nearly fills your
screen vertically. If you want to view the massive enlargement, simply click on
the intermediate size image.
A small percentage of the photos were made from scanned prints and may be fuzzy
on the highest magnification.
Groups of Banjos:
After clicking on this button on the Homepage, place the cursor ( without
clicking ) on the group you wish to survey. Immediately to the right a list of
banjos will appear. Move the cursor straight to your right and into the list and
then up or down to select a specific banjo. The list only provides enough
information to make your selection. When you click on your choice, much more
detailed info. will be displayed.
At the bottom of the list of banjos in each group, you will find "Information on
this Group" which attempts to portray the "big picture" of the group. Many
viewers may prefer to read this information before selecting individual banjos.
Below the text for each banjo, you will find a varying number of thumbnail
photos that you may enlarge as described above.
Web Site Goals:
In addition to listing my goals, this section displays a useful chart showing
the dates and relationships amongst the several firms I think of as the
"Fairbanks family". It also suggests several ways viewers may contribute.
Banjo Images:
A cluster of images such as vintage photographs, paintings, prints, and many
other items portraying the banjo.
Collection Background:
Discusses my collecting history, interests, and goals and also provides a place
to acknowledge several extremely helpful people.
