About this photograph
The archive identifies this as a portrait of the Daunt Brothers, taken in Springville, California in 1895. The photographer is not recorded.
Springville lies in Tulare County, part of California's San Joaquin Valley. The region saw heavy settlement in the later nineteenth century, with farming communities relying on irrigated agriculture to work the valley land.
The photograph comes from the Tulare County Library's local history collection. That collection focuses on ordinary residents rather than public figures: families, schools, and businesses that made up the county's everyday life in this period. The library's holdings have been digitised through California Revealed, a statewide programme that makes photographs and documents from California libraries and historical societies available to the public.
No further information about the Daunt Brothers or the circumstances of the portrait survives in the archive record.
Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
