Hand-colored photograph
10 1/2 in x 23 1/2 in including frame, with minor bowing / 26.7 x 59.7 cm
Provenance: Randolph Crossley, Carmel, CA
This anonymous hand-colored panorama shows Waikīkī with Diamond Head in the distance, dating to the 1920s. The image reflects the early twentieth-century presentation of Honolulu as both coastal landscape and developed resort setting. Its long horizontal format allows the shoreline, buildings, water, boats, and volcanic landmark to be seen together in one broad view.
The hand-coloring gives the photograph a soft period surface, with blue water, pale sky, green shoreline, and warm architectural tones. Minor bowing to the framed work is noted, but the image remains a clear decorative view of one of Hawaiʻi’s best-known coastal scenes. With Carmel provenance, the piece fits within Hawaiiana, Waikīkī photography, and early travel-era Hawaiian landscape imagery.
