Antique oversized cabinet card photograph by Pierce & McConnell, 515 North Main Street, Los Angeles, California, circa 1890s.
Captioned “604. Mexican Family at Home,” this albumen photograph shows a Mexican family posed before their adobe dwelling — the father in sombrero and cartridge belt, the women in rebozos, a child held in arms. A powerful and iconic image of Southern California’s Mexican heritage.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTE: there is a triangular shape cut out at the bottom of the mount — please study the photos carefully.
The mount bears the series line “Views of Los Angeles and Vicinity” and the imprint “Pierce & McConnell, 515 North Main Street, Los Angeles, Cal.” The reverse bears the printed “Southern California” promotional text and the imprint “Published by Pierce & McConnell, Headquarters for Mounted and Unmounted Views, 515 North Main St., Los Angeles, Cal.”
