Historical portrait of John T. Walker, resident of Visalia, California, photographed circa 1888. Public domain photograph from California archives.


This photograph shows John T. Walker, a resident of Visalia, California, taken around 1888. The portrait was made by E. M. Davidson.

Tulare County, where Visalia is located, sits in California's San Joaquin Valley. The region saw heavy settlement in the later nineteenth century and its economy centered on irrigated farming.

The photograph comes from the Tulare County Library's local history collection, which documents ordinary residents, families, schools, and businesses rather than public figures. The library's holdings were digitized through California Revealed, a statewide program that makes material from California libraries, archives, museums, and historical societies publicly available.

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