Summary

[edit]
Description
English: In contrast to the 1858 image, 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.

Source
English: 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.
Author Photographer: Valentine Wolfenstein of Los Angeles
