Public-domain 1930 historical photograph of the Veyna family taken by Betzsoldt Studio in Anaheim, California. Shows six family members in formal portrait.


This photograph records the Veyna family in Anaheim, California, captured by Betzsoldt Studio. The formal composition shows six family members, though the archive provides no further details about their identities or relationships.

The studio portrait format was standard practice in 1930, when families often commissioned professional photographs to document their household at a particular moment. Such images typically required careful arrangement and posed settings, contrasting with the informal snapshots that were becoming more common during this period.

The photograph reached the Internet Archive through California Revealed, a statewide digitisation programme. The programme makes materials from California's libraries, archives, museums and historical societies publicly accessible online. Items carrying this designation originated from local institutions across the state rather than indicating where the photograph was taken.

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