Archive record

About this photograph
This photograph comes from a collection titled "Shades of Anaheim" but the archive record places the portrait in Portland, Oregon rather than California. The dating is uncertain, with the year 1920 marked as approximate.
The photographer is unknown. No information survives about the woman pictured or the circumstances under which the photograph was made.
The collection appears in the archive through California Revealed, a statewide programme that digitises material held by California libraries, archives, museums and historical societies. Items reaching the archive through this programme come from many separate local institutions across the state, meaning the shared source tag indicates where a photograph was digitised rather than where it was taken.
The discrepancy between the collection's Anaheim title and the Portland location given in the record remains unexplained by the available documentation.
Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
