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 Parker Ranch cattle with a handler, connecting the image directly to Hawaiʻi’s ranching and paniolo history. Parker Ranch, based in Kamuela on Hawaiʻi Island, became one of the major cattle operations in the Pacific and helped define a distinctive part of Hawaiian working life. The estate provenance links the photograph to Alfred Wellington Carter, who managed and developed the ranch over several decades.
The composition presents the animal as a prized ranch specimen, with the handler giving scale and context to the scene. The image is more documentary than decorative, recording livestock, landscape, and ranch labor within a single frame. As part of the Carter estate material, it fits well with photographs connected to Parker Ranch, Hawaiian agriculture, and early twentieth-century island history.
