About this photograph

George Anderson, a soldier from Tulare County, California, photographed in uniform during the First World War period.

The portrait was made between 1914 and 1918 according to the archive's cataloguing. The United States entered the war in April 1917. Local photography studios photographed enlistees in uniform before departure, and many of these portraits were made so that a copy could remain at home with the family.

Tulare County is located 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 rather than prominent figures.

The photograph is held in the Internet Archive and comes from material digitised through California Revealed, a statewide programme that makes holdings from California libraries, archives, museums and historical societies publicly available. The creator of the photograph is unknown.

Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
