Object Description
Written on board: "Hawaii / 60-42 / Division of Anthropology / Harvard University" Printed on photorgaph: "William Aeko. (Hawaiian.) / On the eastern slope of Mauna-Loa in Hawaii, the greatest of the Sandwich Islands, stands Kilauea, the largest active volcano in the world. A great painting / of this natural wonder formed one of the attractions of the Midway. The volcano is over four thousand feet above sea level; its crater is oval, nine miles in circum- / ference, and contains within it a fiery lake of molten lava, rising and falling like waves of the sea. The climate of the islands is fairly temperate, and their chief / products are sugar, wool, rice, and fruits. Gaetano is said to have discovered them in 1542; but Captain Cook, who was killed by natives a year later, rediscovered / and named them after Lord" (continued under remarks)
