About this photograph
The archive records this as a portrait of Mrs. W. V. Braide and her son, who went by the nickname "June Bug," photographed in 1910. The caption notes that the Strathmore and Keeley-Burdich-Keeley building appears in the background, though no further information about these structures is provided in the record.
The photograph comes from Tulare County, California, which sits in the San Joaquin Valley. The region saw heavy settlement in the late nineteenth century and relied on irrigated agriculture. The county library maintains a large local history photograph collection focused on ordinary residents, families, schools and businesses rather than public figures.
The photographer is not identified in the archive record. The material was digitised through California Revealed, a statewide programme that makes historical material from California libraries, archives, museums and historical societies publicly available online.
No additional information about Mrs. Braide, her son, or the origin of the "June Bug" nickname is provided in the archive materials.
