EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the regal figures of Kalaimanokahoowaha or Kanaina, a prominent Hawaiian chief, and his wife Poeta. Adorned in traditional attire, their presence exudes power and prestige. Kalaimanokahoowaha dons an impressive helmet and cloak made entirely of vibrant feathers, symbolizing his high status within the community. Poeta complements her husband's grandeur with a feather lei necklace gracefully draped around her neck and beads intricately woven into her hair. Accompanying them are warriors wearing kahuna gourd masks as they skillfully paddle a canoe through calm waters. These masks serve both ceremonial and protective purposes, embodying the spiritual connection between humans and nature that is deeply rooted in Hawaiian culture. The handcolored copperplate engraving by Sasso after John Webber captures every intricate detail of this historical moment from 1844 Florence, Italy. It is part of Giulio Ferrario's renowned work "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World" showcasing diverse cultures across the globe. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness the rich heritage and traditions of Hawaii. The elegance displayed by Kalaimanokahoowaha, Poeta, and their fellow warriors serves as a reminder of their resilience in preserving their cultural identity amidst changing times.
