About this photograph
John R. and Mary Ann Reed posed for this photograph in a horse-drawn buggy at their home in Orosi in 1910. The archive record identifies them as a wheat farming family.
Orosi lies in Tulare County, part of California's San Joaquin Valley. The valley became a major farming region in the late nineteenth century, its agriculture dependent on irrigation.
The photographer is unknown. The photograph now forms part of the Tulare County Library's local history collection, which documents ordinary residents, families, schools and businesses from the area rather than public figures.
Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
