EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the regal presence of Emma, Queen of Sandwich Islands, during the years 1855-65. The American School from the 19th century beautifully captured her essence in this portrait, which is now part of a private collection. Emma Kalanikaumakaamano Kaleleonulani Naea Rooke was not only a queen consort but also a remarkable figure in Hawaiian history. She served as the devoted wife to King Kamehameha IV from 1856 until his untimely passing in 1863. In this portrait, Emma exudes elegance and grace as she sits majestically in her Victorian dress with a veil delicately draped over her head. Her three-quarter length pose allows us to admire her poise and stature. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to an era when Hawaii was known as the Sandwich Islands, and royalty reigned supreme. This photograph serves as a testament to Emma's significance within Hawaiian society and highlights her role as a female leader. The historical context surrounding this image adds depth to its already mesmerizing qualities. It reminds us of Emma's enduring legacy and contributions to Hawaiian culture during her reign as queen consort. This extraordinary portrait captures both the beauty of photography from that time period and the timeless allure of Queen Emma herself – forever etching her into history books for generations to come.
