1913 Southern California Orange Orchard Farm Apron Pretty Ladies Pick Fruit
You are bidding on a
vintage image from my collection.
an original vintage photo
This photograph captures a wonderfully playful and affectionate group portrait of four young women leaning closely together while enjoying a day of work and recreation inside a rural fruit grove.
Sourced from a personal Southern California travel and school memory album, this scene documents early twentieth-century agricultural lifestyle and youth camaraderie in the regional farm districts surrounding Orange and Long Beach. The women are dressed in typical period utility attire, featuring structured high-collared light blouses, dark practical ankle boots, and full-length checkered plaid and solid protective work aprons or pinafore day dresses.
The background features a dense canopy of mature citrus trees alongside a rustic, open-sided wooden packing shed thatched with heavy palm fronds or dried corn stalks, while a large multi-wheeled wooden horse-drawn transport wagon or field plow assembly sits resting on the dirt lane on the right. The lower front margin carries the original, loose handwritten pencil caption "Fun", providing a beautifully candid record of everyday female friendship and maybe some fruit picking fun.
