About this photograph

This portrait shows John Thomas, a resident of Visalia, California, photographed around 1888 by E.M. Davidson.

Visalia sits in Tulare County, part of California's San Joaquin Valley. The valley saw heavy settlement in the later nineteenth century as irrigated agriculture took hold across the region.

The photograph comes from the Tulare County Library's local history collection. That collection focuses largely on ordinary residents, families, schools and businesses from the area rather than public figures, preserving a record of everyday life in the valley during its period of growth and settlement.

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