Hand-colored photograph
12 in x 18 in including period frame / 30.5 x 45.7 cm
Provenance: Joyal Arnold, Honolulu, HI
This hand-colored photograph shows Kailua Beach on Oʻahu in the 1920s, with a sandy path, palms, and coastal vegetation framing the view. The image belongs to the early twentieth-century photographic record of Hawaiʻi, when beach and landscape scenes were often presented as framed decorative photographs. Its period frame supports the photograph’s original presentation and island context.
The hand-coloring gives the scene a softened surface, with green foliage, pale sand, and blue coastal tones worked over the photographic image. The composition is quiet and atmospheric, focused on place rather than figures or event. With Honolulu provenance, the piece fits naturally within Hawaiiana, early tourism, and Hawaiian coastal photography.
