  Titus Ranch photograph album, (bulk 1911-1915)

  Visual Materials

  An album of 70 mounted photographs and 19 loose photographs depicting ranching and agricultural activities at Titus Ranch, San Gabriel Valley, California in the early 20th century. The ranch was named for Luther H. Titus (1822-1900), who bought the property in San Gabriel and what is now San Marino in the late 19th century; it was primarily devoted to citrus orchards and the breeding of fine horses. The album appears to have been compiled by someone closely affiliated with the ranch, as there are many handwritten identifications, and an image of men on horses is captioned "Our cowboys." A series of 8 x 10-inch photographs depict overviews of the ranch buildings over time, from 1890 to 1914. The bulk of the album depicts people and activities on the ranch between 1911 and 1915, including: plowing fields with teams of horses and also with farm machinery; farmworkers and crops; livestock; stables and portraits of horses; young men in suits posed with cars on the ranch; cowboys branding cattle; barns, and a large two-story residence called "Whitehall Estate." A group of loose snapshots of the ranch and ranchers are dated 1913 to 1937.
