About this photograph

The archive record identifies this portrait as W. G. Fewel, a farmer from Visalia, photographed by E. M. Davidson around 1888.

Visalia lies in Tulare County in California's San Joaquin Valley. The area saw substantial settlement in the late nineteenth century and developed as a farming region dependent on irrigation.

The photograph comes from Tulare County Library's local history collection, which holds images documenting ordinary residents, families, schools and businesses rather than public figures. The archive received it through California Revealed, a statewide digitisation programme that works with libraries, archives, museums and historical societies across California to make their holdings publicly available.

Beyond what the record states about Fewel's occupation and location, no further biographical information is available for him. The photographer E. M. Davidson is named in the archive record but nothing more is known about the studio or practice.

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