About this photograph
This photograph shows the Leon Loeb family home at 7th and Grand Avenue around 1890. The street view captures women, children, and a bicycle in the front yard of the residence.
The image was catalogued with an approximate date, reflecting uncertainty about when exactly it was taken. No photographer is identified in the archive record.
The photograph entered this collection through California Revealed, a statewide programme that digitises holdings from California libraries, archives, museums and historical societies for public access. The subject tags indicate it came via the Jewish Historical Society of Southern California, though this marks where the material was digitised rather than necessarily where the photograph was originally created.
The scene offers a glimpse of a residential street in California during the late nineteenth century, when such family documentation was becoming more common as photography grew more accessible.
