Avalon,CA - Los Angeles County - August 20, 1894 - Avalon Photograph :
This 8" by 6 1/4" gold mounted photo is by an unknown photographer. With the mounting, the photo measures 10" by 8." All four corners of the mounting are worn. Three liquid stains are highly visible on the left side of the mounting. There are a few discernable fingerprints on the picture itself along with a few other small smudges. However, the focus is sharp, and the contrast is medium. This family photo shows people either camping or living in a tent at Avalon on Catalina Island. Inside the wooden floor tent, some dark wood chairs are visible. One of the men is holding up a string of fish along with his fishing pole. The tent is securely tied to the floor. It seems to be on a side of a hill as there are wooden boxes stored under the tent. Washing is hanging on the line. The thoughtful gentleman in the dark suit holding on to the side of the tent with his right hand is holding a book and glasses in his left. Behind the tent there is another tent, smaller in size. Beyond that, there is a two-story, white, wooden house in the background. Written in ink on the bottom of the mounting is "Avalon, about Aug 20 - 94."
