Description
Enjoy this gallery wrapped canvas print reproduction with hanging hardware of an image from Kona Historical Society's collections.
The image is of the Kaanahaha sheep station, which was built by Charles Wall in 1873 when he was awarded a 15-year lease to the land from Charles Bishop and J.O. Dominis, administrators of the estate of Kamehameha V. Wall sold his lease to Dr. George Trousseau in 1875, who then sold to Henry Nicholas Greenwell in 1879. At the time of the sale, Trousseau's livestock included 11,000 sheep, 5,000 goats, 14 horse, 10 mules, 70 beef cattle and three pigs. Greenwell continued raising sheep until the mid-1880s when wild dogs becames a large problem, killing and scattering the herds and making this operations an unprofitable venture which was phased out by 1887.
In this image, H.N. Greenwell is standing at the right alongside wool worker and Hualalai is in the background.
The canvas measures 11" by 16" by 1.5."
