I believe this is an image of the big Paige Orchard & Vineyard (Paige & Morton Ranch) that was west of Tulare, circa 1897.

The photographer is H.H. Alexander of Fresno,  some of the old newspapers of that period seem to indicate that he worked in Fresno as a photographer around 1896-97.   And he appears to have traveled outside of Fresno County to sometimes take photos.
The person who sold this photo could see "Tulare County, California" written on some of the fruit boxes, but he couldn't make out the ranch's name.
Because of the apparent size of the ranch and what looks like a lot of drying trays, I thought that it could be narrowed down to one of the larger farms in the county.    By far the closest match I could make to a large Tulare County ranch, and the name on the fruit boxes, is the Paige Orchard & Vineyard.    It was called the Paige & Morton Ranch until 1893, when Timothy Paige bought out the interest of James Morton.    But for years after this, the farm was still occasionally referred to as the Paige & Morton Ranch, e.g. In some newspapers.        The man in the horse carriage, at the left-hand  edge of the photo,  might be P.J.S. Montgomery.    Mr. Montgomery was the ranch's manager.

Photo by E. M. Davidson of Visalia, circa 1889.   This young woman is wearing a rather flashy dress for that time period.   I wonder if this was some sort of holiday or party costume, or if she was part of some stage act?

 

 

From the Visalia studio of  S.W. Watrous, circa 1888.

 

Photo postcard,  postmarked May 16, 1909. 

Written at the top of the image:   "Grade 9  Grammar School  Dinuba Cal."

Photograph by C.A. Myers of Porterville, 1896.     On the back of it is written: Elmo Clair Slinkard, born Oct. 5th '95 .    According to some online family trees: "Elmo Clare Slinkard" was born in Porterville on 10/5/1895.   

The person I bought this photo from thought that it was an image of a girl... But from the late 1880s to about 1900, young boys were commonly dressed-up in this fashion for their photographs.

Note the alternative spelling of "Portersville".

Two old photos that I recently acquired.     The photography studio for both is Doran of Tulare.     

 I would guess that they were taken around the middle of October, 1889.     On the back of the first photograph someone wrote: "Clarence Lloyd Carlile, 3 1/2 months old".   Written on the back of the second: "Luella Carlile age 16".

Looking at online family trees:

Luella (1873-1944) and Clarence (1889-1947) were brother and sister, childeren of James and Margaret Carlile.   Clarence was born on June 25, 1889; Margaret turned 16 on October 13, 1889.

Apparently their father changed the spelling of their family name to "Carlisle", around 1890. According to voting and census records, James H. Carlile (Carlisle) lived in Tulare and Goshen.

Photo postcard image of the Visalia Soda Works, circa 1911. They bottled things like beer and soft drinks, and would deliver these products to your home.   The oldest reference I can find to them in Visalia newspapers is from 1895, the most recent is 1923.   In 1907 they moved to the corner of Bridge St. and Oak Ave., so I would guess that this is the location of the image.

 An image of an Asian gentleman from the Visalia studio of Robinson & Weishar  (Ida Robinson  and Frank Weishar).   Unfortunately there is no name with the photo.    The style of the photograph looks very much like it is from the late 1890s, but the partnership or Robinson & Weishar didn't start until November 1900... so I would guess that it was taken around 1901-03.
