Archive record
Public domain historical photograph showing families gathered for a wedding celebration in San Francisco, California, circa 1929.
About this photograph
The archive catalogues this as a family portrait, part of a collection titled "Shades of Sutter County," though the caption describes a wedding celebration in San Francisco. The date is given as 1929 with some uncertainty. The photographer is unknown.
The photograph comes from material digitised through California Revealed, a statewide programme that makes collections from California libraries, archives, museums and historical societies publicly available online. Items carrying this designation were digitised at various local institutions across the state, indicating the point of digitisation rather than where the photograph originated.
The discrepancy between the collection title referencing Sutter County and the caption placing the scene in San Francisco suggests either an error in cataloguing or a family connection between the two locations. Without further documentation in the record, the precise location and occasion remain uncertain.
Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
