Historical portrait of Mary DeBorba in white high-collared dress, circa 1900. Daughter of Antonio and Anna DeBorba Sr. Public domain photograph.


This portrait shows Mary DeBorba wearing a white high-collared dress. The photograph is dated to around 1900, though the exact date is uncertain. According to the record, she was the daughter of Antonio and Anna DeBorba Sr.

The photographer is unknown. The image forms part of material from California institutions that has been digitised and made publicly available, though the specific local source is not identified in the record.

The formal style of dress and studio portrait format were typical of photography at the turn of the twentieth century, when such portraits often documented family members for posterity.
