2012.498.1.3Description
A cabinet card photograph of R. Botello, Johnson Photo Company, Boyle Heights, Los Angeles, 18 September 1892. The full-length portrait shows the subject standing with one foot crossed over the other and resting one hand against a chair covered with an animal skin while the other is held behind his back. He wears a long, high-buttoned dark coat with a white handkerchief in the breast pocket, dark boots and trousers, a white shirt and a dark tie. It is assumed this is Refugio Botello, Jr. (1867-1900), whose father was a butcher in Los Angeles and implicated for direct involvement in the Chinese Massacre of 24 October 1871. With heavy fading, yellowing, soiling, stains, and abrasions along the edges, the condition is poor.Lexicon
