Hawaii, United States
1930
Hand-colored photograph, original frame
Height: 10¾ in (27.3 cm), Width: 45 in (114.3 cm), including original frame
Provenance: Found in abandoned storage locker, Honolulu, Hawaii
This hand-colored panoramic photograph documents the Waimea uplands on Hawai'i Island in 1930, spreading across an unusually large horizontal format that conveys the open land, low hills, and distant coastal atmosphere of the region with a breadth not achievable in standard format photography. Waimea has long been associated with ranching and upland settlement on the Big Island, and this image records the landscape before the development that transformed the area in later decades, making it a document of interest to collectors of Hawaiiana, island history, and early twentieth century Pacific photography. The original frame is intact, and the hand coloring adds period warmth while preserving the documentary quality of the underlying photograph.
