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 a Parker Ranch bull 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 strong profile with 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.
