About this photograph
This photograph shows three family members connected to Wong-She Gong, taken around 1930. The subjects are identified as the wife of Wong-She Gong's brother, her son, and her daughter-in-law.
The photographer is not recorded. The archive caption describes the image as a historical family portrait from China, though the photograph is held in a California collection.
The record comes from the Tulare County Library. Tulare County sits in California's San Joaquin Valley, a farming region that developed through irrigated agriculture in the late nineteenth century. The county library maintains a local history photograph collection documenting ordinary residents and families rather than public figures.
The photograph was digitised through California Revealed, a statewide programme that makes material from California libraries, archives, museums and historical societies publicly available online.
