Description
Photographic portrait of J.W. Harvey, owner and editor of The Planet, the first paper in Monrovia, Los Angeles, ca.1900. Mr. Harvey, who, according to John L. Wiley (History of Monrovia 1927) came to Monrovia in the 1886 from Duarte before the city had been laid out, looks very young here, standing by a scrivener's desk, dressed in a suit with a cane in his hand. He is clean-shaven and baby-faced with his hair combed lightly to the side. A photograph sits in a frame on the desk. A foldable chair stands behind him. Molding and decorative framework are peppered around the room.
