About this photograph

The archive record identifies this 1913 studio portrait as showing four members of the Ling Joe family, photographed in Tulare, California. The subjects are named as Mary Joe, Jennie Joe Wong, Ling Joe, and baby Yow Joe, wearing traditional dress.

The photograph was taken by Doran, a studio operating in the area.

Tulare County sits in California's San Joaquin Valley, a farming region that saw heavy settlement in the later nineteenth century. The county library maintains a substantial local history photograph collection focused on ordinary residents, families, schools, and businesses rather than public figures.

The record comes to this archive through California Revealed, a statewide programme that digitises holdings from libraries, archives, museums, and historical societies across California. Because material digitised under this programme originates from many separate local institutions, the shared source marking indicates where an item was digitised rather than where it was originally created.

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