Historic 1899 family portrait of the Eigenbrod family at their homestead in Riverside, California. Public domain photograph from Internet Archive collection.


This photograph, catalogued as probably dating from 1899, shows members of the Eigenbrod family at their homestead in Riverside, California. The archive names no photographer.

The record's uncertain dating reflects the limits of what documentation survived. Beyond the family name, location and approximate year, the archive provides no information about the individuals pictured or the circumstances of the sitting.

The material was digitised through California Revealed, a statewide programme that makes holdings from California libraries, archives, museums and historical societies publicly available. Because the programme digitises material from many separate local institutions across the state, the shared tag indicates where the photograph was processed rather than its original provenance.

The image forms part of the Internet Archive's collection of historical photographs, now in the public domain.

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