A vineyard near Fresno, California, is the subject of this c1901 print from the Detroit Publishing Company, a firm known for its large catalog of western landscapes and scenes sold to travelers and collectors around the turn of the century. Fresno sat in the San Joaquin Valley, where irrigated vineyards and raisin grapes had become a major part of the local economy by that period. The company's photographers often recorded such agricultural scenes as examples of the region's growing prosperity, so the picture offers a useful glimpse of how California's farmland was presented to the public in those years.
