About this photograph
John R. Reed stands outside a family home in Orosi, California, photographed around 1913. The photographer is unknown.
Orosi lies in Tulare County, part of California's San Joaquin Valley. The region was settled heavily in the late nineteenth century and depended on irrigated agriculture for its development.
The photograph comes from the Tulare County Library's local history collection, which holds images of ordinary residents, families, schools and businesses from the area rather than public figures. It was digitised through California Revealed, a statewide programme that makes material from California libraries, archives and historical societies publicly available online.
Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
