Hand-colored photograph
10 1/2 in x 15 1/2 in / 26.7 x 39.4 cm
Provenance: John Dominis Holt, Honolulu, HI
This hand-colored photograph shows a woman standing beneath flowering angel’s trumpet in Hawaiʻi during the 1920s. The image belongs to the early twentieth-century tradition of Hawaiian garden and botanical photography, where cultivated tropical plants were often presented as part of the islands’ visual identity. The John Dominis Holt provenance gives the photograph a direct Honolulu collecting context.
The hand-coloring emphasizes the pale hanging flowers, green foliage, and the figure’s light dress, creating a soft decorative effect over the photographic image. The composition combines botanical interest with a posed garden scene, giving scale to the large trumpet-shaped blossoms. As a period Hawaiian photograph, it fits within Hawaiiana, garden imagery, and early island photographic presentation.
