About this photograph
This portrait shows Ed T. Parr, M.D., a physician practicing in Visalia, California, photographed around 1888 by E. M. Davidson.
Visalia is located in Tulare County, which sits in California's San Joaquin Valley. The region saw substantial settlement in the later nineteenth century and developed into a farming area dependent on irrigated agriculture.
The photograph comes from the Tulare County library's local history collection, which consists largely of images documenting ordinary residents, families, schools, and businesses rather than prominent public figures. The collection was digitized through California Revealed, a statewide program that makes material from California libraries, archives, museums, and historical societies publicly available online.
Beyond his name, profession, and location, the archive record provides no further information about Dr. Parr's medical practice, training, or life in Visalia.
Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
