A. A. Montano pictures of Kilauea! 1881.
[Found under: “ISLAND LOCALS.: About Town.”]
We have on our table a very fine set of photos of Kilauea Volcano, and some distant views of the lava flow, as well as some of the pahoehoe, taken by Montano. Truly our photographers are adventurous. Mr. Montano has certainly struck out a bold line in taking Kilauea.
