EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases Kalakaua I, the esteemed King of the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii), in all his regal splendor. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print exudes a sense of majesty and power. In this portrait, Kalakaua I is depicted wearing traditional Hawaiian attire, adorned with intricate patterns and symbols that reflect his royal status. His gaze is steady and commanding, revealing a ruler who possesses both strength and wisdom. The artist has skillfully captured every detail of his facial features, conveying a sense of dignity and authority. The Illustrated London News published this illustration on July 16th, 1881 - a testament to the global recognition that Kalakaua I commanded during his reign. As one gazes upon this image today, it serves as a reminder of Hawaii's rich history and cultural heritage. Kalakaua I was not only revered as king but also held titles such as "His Royal Highness" and "Her Royal Highness". This engraving immortalizes him as more than just a monarch; it portrays him as an emblematic figurehead for the Sandwich Islands' royalty. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from their private collection.
