About this photograph

This photograph shows Attilia Pellindini Lafranchini in 1907, wearing a long white dress and flowered hat. The archive gives no further information about her or the circumstances of the portrait.

The date falls within a period when millions of people arrived in the United States from southern and eastern Europe. Studio portraits were often made at two points in that journey: at home before departure, to leave with relatives, or soon after arrival, to post back as proof of having reached America and found work.

The record carries a California tag but offers no detail about where the photograph was taken or whether Lafranchini had any connection to the state. The material reached the archive through California Revealed, a statewide programme that digitises holdings from libraries, museums and local historical societies across California and makes them publicly available. That tag indicates where the photograph was digitised rather than where it originated.

The photographer is unknown.

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