Promotional photographs depicting vineyards of the American Vineyard Co., which specialized in the production and packaging
of raisins in Fresno and Kings counties of California's San Joaquin Valley. Photographs illustrate various aspects of the
raisin trade, including picking and curing of grapes, pruning of vines, and packing of raisins. Many farm workers are depicted
throughout. Panoramic photographs highlight the size of the vineyards and their Central Valley setting. Accompanying brochure,
produced to attract investors, is illustrated with some of the photographs. Also includes apparently unrelated photograph
depicting aerial view of unidentified lake, reservoir or bay.
