1980s Kern Co. & Allensworth California History Photo (c. 1985): Captures a weathered pioneer shack and outhouse baking under the sun at Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park. Founded in 1908 by Colonel Allen Allensworth, this iconic site is the only town in California established, financed, and governed entirely by Black Americans. Label text reads: 'Shack and Outhouse at Colonel Allensworth State Park (west of Earlimart), one hot summer afternoon. c/1985.'
This compelling authentic 1980s vintage documentary photograph chronicles important architectural preservation site in California's San Joaquin Valley. Discovered at a regional estate sale, this original physical print features museum-style typewritten catalog label affixed directly to the lower margin, providing exceptional historical provenance.
The print remains firmly mounted flat onto the original, vintage 8x10 cardstock album page. The reverse side of the backing sheet shows historical glue residue patterns from a vintage photo album system.
The thick cream-colored backing provides a built-in matting effect, making the set easy to drop straight into any standard 8x10 frame. An exceptional, completely untouched find for curators and collectors of Western Americana, Black heritage and history, and regional California photography.
