| Keywords: Carte de visite photograph of Pio Pico, age 72, in 1873.jpg Pío Pico now shows a generous beard full eyebrows symmetrical light reflection on his eyes and less prominence of his acromegalic facial features all similar to his essentially normal appearance later in his 90s These changes support the impression that his pituitary tumor spontaneously and selectively infarcted at some time between 1858 and 1873 instead of the later date of 1890s An inscription on the photograph states the owner Thornton Sanborn had been to a champagne dinner at the Pico House hotel in 1873 with Don Pio present Sanborn was a nephew to F P F Temple who was a close friend of Pio Pico The image ultimately passed to one of Temple's sons Walter after 1926 It then passed to Walter's eldest son Thomas an historian and genealogist of early California and then to Thomas' widow and then on to her second husband whose daughter Jeannine Raymond donated the photograph to the Workman and Temple Family Homestead Museum in 2009 The Museum contributed the photograph for this educational project Photographer Valentine Wolfenstein of Los Angeles 1873 PD-old Pío Pico 1873 portrait photographs Los Angeles in the 1870s | ||||
