United States — Hawaiʻi
1935
Gelatin silver panoramic print, archival frame
Frame: 11 × 55½ in (27.9 × 141 cm) | Image: 9½ × 54 in (24.1 × 137.2 cm)
Provenance: Private collection, Mesa, Arizona
Eugene O. Goldbeck was the foremost practitioner of panoramic military photography in the United States, producing large-format installation records for bases across the country throughout the first half of the twentieth century. This 1935 panorama of Schofield Barracks documents the installation six years before the attack on Pearl Harbor transformed its place in American military history. Produced through the National News Service in San Antonio, it represents the institutional commissions that made Goldbeck's studio the primary visual record of American military life between the wars.
The panoramic format required specialized rotating-lens equipment, producing a continuous image that sweeps the full breadth of the installation across nearly four and a half feet. Visible foxing is consistent with the paper's age and storage history. Schofield Barracks remains an active U.S. Army installation on Oʻahu.
