Visual Materials
This collection contains 209 photographs of families, residences, commercial and municipal buildings, and the natural environment of South Pasadena, the city and county of Los Angeles, and other locations chiefly in California, taken approximately 1887-1913, mostly by photographer T. D. Keith ([1848]-1896); one undated photograph is by Los Angeles photographer Elkanah P. Tresslar, and other images taken after Keith's death are by an unidentified photographer. Photographs chiefly show South Pasadena residents and residences, including Keith's home and family and other families; many of the photographs provide a glimpse of clothing and dress styles of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Photographs also depict South Pasadena buildings and scenes, including the first and second Raymond Hotel and South Pasadena High School; panoramic views of South Pasadena; railroads; various views of the San Gabriel Valley and Los Angeles; Santa Catalina Island; and the Tournament of Roses Parade in 1901 in Pasadena. The collection also includes a few photographs showing scenes from San Diego County and the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906, and individual images of the San Juan Capistrano Mission and of a street scene in Tijuana, Mexico. A few images, such as Item 37, are originals with the stamp "Keith" on versos. The photographs are chiefly later prints from glass-plate negatives and, to a lesser extent, from copy film negatives; these prints were made by the Huntington photo lab in the 1980s. Also included are 20 prints without corresponding negatives, one cabinet card photograph, and a chiefly blank notebook containing three pages of handwritten titles for some of the photographs. The collection contains many duplicates.
