Sally Patterson visiting her mother's flower garden in 1918. Historic public-domain photograph showing a woman in an early 20th century garden setting.


This photograph shows Sally Patterson in a flower garden in 1918. The archive record identifies the garden as belonging to her mother, though no further details about either woman or their relationship are given.

The record does not name the photographer or specify where the garden was located. The subject terms include George Patterson House, but the record does not explain the connection between this location and the people shown.

The photograph was digitised through California Revealed, a statewide programme that makes material from California libraries, archives, museums and historical societies publicly available. Because the programme draws on many separate local institutions across the state, this shared source indicates where the photograph was digitised rather than necessarily where it was taken.

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