Description

American painter Peter Hurd was hired by a “Big 5” company to create works to commemorate 100 years of settler development in Hawaiʻi. This painting of a sugar plantation in Kōloa, Kauaʻi, in 1841 demonstrates the diversion of water to the plantation, a disruption from the Hawaiian ahupuaʻa land system.
