About this photograph

Antonio Spinetti and his wife Adelle Zoccoli Spinetti stand beside their car at their farm in the Springfield District of Watsonville, California in 1930. The photograph was taken by Rita Stringari.

The Springfield District was one of several farming areas surrounding Watsonville, a town in coastal California's agricultural region. By 1930, automobile ownership had become common among established farming families, representing both practical transport and a measure of prosperity during the years before the Depression's full impact reached rural California.

The image forms part of a collection digitised through California Revealed, a statewide programme that makes material from California libraries, archives, museums and historical societies publicly available online.

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