About This Item
Very good. Original 6" x 8" black and white photograph on a 10" x 12" mount, captioned "Mairposa Co. Exibit" (sic) and credited "Simon & Robinson Photog." Very good condition, blank on the back. Undated, but ca. 1915 based on the period when Simon & Robinson were active. Their firm is described in a 1913 promotional book for neighboring Merced County as "especially interested in public affairs and the development of the county." This image was presumably taken at a state or regional agricultural fair and was intended to showcase the bounty produced by Marisposa County farmers. Three long benches and two side tables are shown covered in artfully arranged melons, potatoes, cucumbers, squash, corn, grapes, and other fruit and flowers.
