If you’re looking for historical black-and-white photos of anything about Washington state, a great place to check is the Washington State Library. One of its collections of classic photos is the second Library Jewel for March.

This collection features shots taken by Asahel Curtis and other photographers sometime between 1920 and 1940. The Curtis photo above features a young girl in a pear orchard in the Yakima Valley.

The third and final Library Jewel will be featured soon, so watch for it.
