About this photograph
This formal studio portrait shows Samuel Prager in profile around 1895. The record dates his life from 1831 to 1907, making him approximately sixty-four years old at the time the photograph was taken. The photographer remains unknown.
The photograph was digitised through California Revealed, a statewide programme that makes material from California libraries, archives, museums and historical societies publicly available online. The programme works with many separate local institutions across the state, so its presence as a source tag indicates where the photograph was digitised rather than where it originated.
The image appears in collections tagged with Jewish historical society materials and Americana subjects, suggesting its preservation as part of California's documentary heritage. No further details about Prager's life or the circumstances of the portrait's creation are provided in the archive record.
