This is an interesting archive of early music band from the radio era that appears to be playing Hawaiian music. The photos appear to date from the late 1910s through the 1920s based on annotated inscriptions on the back.
Highlights include a photo of a hula dancer with a man and a woman playing stringed instruments as well as a second hula dancer playing a stringed instrument. The archive seems to center around one band with a member who appears indigenous or possibly Asian. One of the photos is marked for Texas on the signature. Another photo features a duo with a member playing an old harp guitar.
One photo of the duo playing instruments is dated 1917 on the back.
There is a photo that appears to be a music concert for WWI soldiers stationed in a Pacific area, possibly Hawaii.
One photo is stamped on the back "Montgomery" and indicated that it was released for publication.
Another photo has pencil inscription for "Henulea? (indecipherable) with date 1926.
One photo is marked Manoney Dallas
Size of largest photo 7 3/4 x 9" approx
13 photos in all. Comes in a sturdy box for safe shipping. Weighs about 1 lb shipped.
Note: The photo of the duo with the harp guitar (dated 1917) has a separation R upper corner (see last photo) - I'm sorry. It happened when I was putting it in a mylar envelope.
