London-born Frank Davey was a prolific photographer active in London, Paris, and later California. After leaving England in 1880, he eventually settled in Hawaii around 1897-1901, where he photographed Indigenous communities, island landscapes, and early surf culture. He is considered one of the first photographers to document surfing. – A few light surface scuff marks, otherwise in very good condition.
