About this photograph
This photograph shows Rollie Ewing Chinowth and Lottie Irene Fulgham, a farming couple from Visalia, California, taken around 1900. The record identifies them as a farming couple but gives no further detail about their work or lives.

The photographer is unknown. The photograph is held in the Tulare County Library's local history collection, which contains images documenting the area's ordinary residents, families, schools, and businesses rather than prominent public figures.
