Black and white photograph of a village near the ocean. The water is present on the bottom right of the photograph near the sloped, rocky shoreline to the left. Above the water level, a dirt road runs from the left side of the image towards the right. A large house sits furthest above the water on top of a rocky hill on the right side. Many people sit and stand along the road with their backs to the camera, looking towards the elevated land to the left of the road. The elevated land emits many clouds of smoke that turn dark when rising into the sky, drifting towards the right. At the base of the elevation, on the left side, a small house is ablaze. A few tall trees are present throughout the village. Handwriting along the bottom of the photograph reads, “The Village of Hoopuloa, 4:30 A.M. April 18, 1926.” “Copyright 1926 Tai Sing Loo” is written in the bottom left corner.

ALBUMS IN WHICH THIS ASSET APPEARS
The image is a black and white sketch of a large hill or mountain that slopes until it reaches the water, forming a shoreline. At the top of the mountain, in the upper right corner, a cloud rises up from a split in the landscape. From this point, lava pours down the landscape, flowing down the slope before reaching a road and village. Where the lava meets the sea, a large plume of steam rises. The road continued through the village and up around the mountain. There are ships along the coast. Near the lower left of the drawing, along the coast, are three groups of people, including an X to mark the location of the artist. A note near the point where the lava flows from reads, "15 miles to source." A label in the lower right corner reads, "Destruction of Hoʻōpūloa, Hawaiʻi, 6:21 AM - April 18, 1926, sketched by Thomas Boles 'on the spot'." At the bottom center of the photo, a caption reads, "Front of lava: 50' high, 1500' wide." The road is labeled with the word "road," and writing in the water reads, "Hoʻōpūlo
