Vintage Hawaiian Art Etcetera is a family collection of fabulous old images and collectibles. All images are scanned from the original photo, negative or original print. The images are printed on a heavyweight matte photo paper using Epson Ultrachrome Ink rated to be fade resistant for 100 years. This image is reprinted from an original print taken about 1935. Paniolo roping a steer at Kawaihae, Hawaii. Once herded to the pens, the Hawaiian cowboys, known as Paniolo, would rope the steers, then lead them into the ocean w they would swim them out to a lifeboat. The cattle were then tied to the side of the lifeboat and taken to the steamer. At the steamer, they were then hoisted one by one up and onto the deck w they were held in pens for the one day trip to the Honolulu market. This was quite an operation and took a very skillful paniolo and his horse to complete. The practice of swimming cattle to the steamer continued until the early 1950's. The print and mat measure 11" x 14". I will be listing many more vintage-historic images in the days to come so please check back often and visit my E-bay store for more fabulous photo art and collectibles!
