Public-domain historical portrait photograph of Edith I. Hartzell from around 1900, showing Victorian era fashion including dress, gloves, and parasol.


The archive identifies this portrait as Edith I. Hartzell, photographed sometime between 1890 and 1905, though the record title suggests a date around 1900. The photographer is unknown.

The photograph captures formal Victorian era dress and accessories characteristic of the period, including gloves and a parasol. Such portraits were common studio work during this era, when formal photography required careful staging and considerable exposure time.

The image forms part of material digitised through California Revealed, a statewide programme that makes holdings from California libraries, archives, museums and historical societies publicly available online. Items tagged with this programme come from many separate local institutions across the state.

No further details about Hartzell herself or the circumstances of the photograph are recorded in the archive.
