Aurel M. Hare was the wife of S. Herbert Hare (1888–1960) of Hare and Hare, a landscape architecture firm that developed the Country Club District and The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, both in Kansas City, MO. Mrs. and Mr. Hare spent six weeks in Hawaii in 1931 (according to passenger lists found on Ancestry.com). From 1935 to 1951, Mrs. Hare gave twenty prints to the museum, most of which have a Hawaiian theme, and several were gifts of the Honolulu Printmakers to their associate members.
