About this photograph
This portrait shows Frank Pease, a resident of Visalia in California's San Joaquin Valley, photographed around 1888 by E.M. Davidson.
Visalia lies in Tulare County, a farming region that saw heavy settlement in the late nineteenth century. The county's economy depended on irrigated agriculture, and its library now holds a substantial collection of local history photographs documenting ordinary residents, families, schools and businesses from this period rather than public figures.
The photograph forms part of material digitised through California Revealed, a statewide programme that makes holdings from California libraries, archives, museums and historical societies publicly available. Items reaching the archive through this programme come from many separate local institutions across the state.
No further information about Frank Pease or the circumstances of the portrait survives in the archive record.
