Historical portrait of Byron Allen, a resident of Visalia, California, photographed circa 1888. Public domain vintage photograph from the 19th century.


This photograph shows Byron Allen, a Visalia resident, as he appeared around 1888. The portrait was taken by E. M. Davidson.

Visalia lies in Tulare County, part of California's San Joaquin Valley. The region saw heavy settlement in the late nineteenth century as irrigated farming took hold across the valley floor.

The photograph comes from the Tulare County Library's local history collection. That collection focuses largely on ordinary residents, families, schools and businesses from the area rather than public figures, preserving a record of everyday life in the valley's early decades.

Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
