Photograph
Mat 16 in x 20 in; image 10 in x 13 1/2 in / mat 40.6 x 50.8 cm; image 25.4 x 34.3 cm
Provenance: Estate of Alfred Wellington Carter, Kamuela, Hawaiʻi
This 1920s photograph shows prized Parker Ranch cattle from the estate of Alfred Wellington Carter, the longtime manager associated with the ranch’s development. Parker Ranch, based in Kamuela on Hawaiʻi Island, became a major part of Hawaiian ranching history and the paniolo tradition. The image records a specific agricultural world within Hawaiʻi, distinct from the coastal and tourist imagery more often associated with the islands.
The photograph is composed as a livestock portrait, presenting the animal in profile with careful attention to scale, stance, and form. Its Carter estate provenance gives the image a direct connection to Parker Ranch and to one of the central figures in its twentieth-century history. As a ranching photograph, it fits well within Hawaiiana, agricultural history, and early twentieth-century documentation of cattle culture in the Pacific.
