Historical portrait of siblings Joe and Annie Phelan from Whittier, California in 1888. Public-domain photograph from the California Revealed archive.


This 1888 portrait shows siblings Joe and Annie Phelan in Whittier, California. The photographer is not identified in the archive record.

The photograph reached the Internet Archive through California Revealed, a statewide programme that digitises material from California libraries, archives, museums and historical societies and makes it publicly available online. Because the programme works with many separate local institutions across the state, items bearing this source tag indicate where the photograph was digitised rather than where it was originally taken.

The record provides no further information about the Phelan siblings, their family, or the circumstances of the portrait sitting.

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