Pio Pico was the last Mexican governor of Alta California, serving in 1845 and 1846, just before the region passed to the United States during the Mexican-American War. This portrait carries a copyright credit to Schumacker of Los Angeles, a city where Pico spent much of his later life after losing most of his land holdings. The record dates the print to about 1897, three years after Pico's death in 1894, so it may reproduce an earlier sitting. The date and caption details are unverified.
