About this photograph
Carolyn Gordon Worthley stands before the family home in Fowler, California, a photograph taken around 1894.
The archive record identifies neither the photographer nor further details about the Worthley family or the house itself. Fowler lies in Tulare County, part of California's San Joaquin Valley, a farming region that saw heavy settlement in the later nineteenth century and relied on irrigated agriculture.
The photograph comes from Tulare County Library's local history collection, which holds images documenting ordinary residents, families, schools and businesses of the area rather than public figures. California Revealed, a statewide digitisation programme, made the photograph publicly available. The programme works with libraries, archives, museums and historical societies across California to digitise material from local institutions.
The dating is approximate, given in the archive as circa 1894.
