I might be cheating just a little bit with these photos below...  as far as their connection to Tulare County.

 This photo and the one just below are from the studio of  H. C. Tandy, Hanford, CA.  (circa 1890).

In 1893,  the western part of Tulare County became Kings County (Which includes the town of Hanford).

 Another Tandy photograph.  

At first I thought that the arrow pin at her throat might be from some sort of  organization.  But I've read that back then these types of pins often just represented Cupid's arrow.  e.g. They were given to women by their suitors.

(1/13/13, Update)   And here's another H. C. Tandy photograph.  (Circa 1885).    I recently bought two old photos of this gentleman, i.e. The same image.   On the back of one of these pictures someone has written that this might be a photograph of Johnny Jones.  But on the other photo someone wrote that they think  it's a photo of Charles Aydelotte.

(Added 9/7/13)  Another photograph by H.C. Tandy.     On the back of this photo is written:  "May N. Richmond",  "Age 17,   April 2, 1892".

(Added 7/1/14) Another photo by H.C. Tandy.  Circa 1893.

(Added 7/17/18)  Photo by C.C. Curtis, circa 1891.     The studio stamp, on the back, states:  "C. C. Curtis,  Photographer.   California Views  -  Constantly on hand at reasonable price. - Hanford & Esperanza.  Tulare Co, Cal.".     During the time Curtis used that studio stamp, he also took a lot of photographs in the present day Tulare County and in the General Grant Grove area.

This is from an old picture postcard (circa 1905).   On the back of this card is written "Kings Canyon".   Although a small part of present day Kings Canyon National Park is in Tulare County,  it is more likely that this picture was taken somewhere in the Cedar Grove area (about 10 miles outside of the county).
