About this photograph
Portrait of Susman Mitchell, photographed by E. M. Davidson around 1888. The archive record identifies Mitchell as a bank clerk who later became president of First National Bank of Visalia.
Visalia is the seat of Tulare County in California's San Joaquin Valley. The region saw heavy settlement in the late nineteenth century as farming took hold, supported by irrigation. The county library maintains a substantial local history photograph collection documenting everyday residents and businesses rather than prominent public figures.
This photograph was digitised through California Revealed, a statewide programme that makes material from California libraries, archives, museums and historical societies publicly available. The programme brings together collections from many local institutions across the state.
Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
