Public domain historical photograph of the Worthley family - Virginia, Kathryn and Alfred - dressed for Easter Sunday in Sultana, California, 1922.


The Worthley family posed for this photograph in Sultana, California. The archive record identifies them as Virginia, Kathryn and Alfred Worthley, dressed for Easter Sunday. The record gives conflicting dates, naming both 1920 and 1922.

Sultana stood in Tulare County, a San Joaquin Valley farming region where settlement grew through the late nineteenth century and agriculture depended on irrigation.

The photographer is not identified. The image comes from the Tulare County Library's local history collection, which holds photographs documenting ordinary residents, families, schools and businesses rather than public figures. It reached this archive through California Revealed, a statewide programme that digitises materials from libraries, museums and historical societies across California and makes them publicly available.

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