Description
A reprinted portrait photograph of F.P.F. Temple, ca. 1920s. The image is a shot of Temple (1822-1880) of most of his torso and head and shows him wearing a dark suit coat, vest, cravat and white shirt. The original was likely taken in the first half of the 1870s, but at the bottom right corner is "S.P. Portrait Co. 1892," while "Mullender LA" is in pencil at the bottom right of the folio and Mullender's stamp is at the top left of the opened folio. Under the image is a pasted down form from the American Historical Society of Chicago with information for the photo's publication in John Steven McGroarty's 1921 book, "Los Angeles: From the Mountains to the Sea." There is pest damage and major creases to the tissue, warping, heavy creasing and moderate silvering of the photo, edge bumping and tears to the folio and the condition is fair.
