1895 Andrew Attorney Hawaiian Polynesia Polynesian Statesman Thurston
EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1895 showcases Lorrin Andrews Thurston, a prominent Hawaiian lawyer and politician. With his distinguished beard and commanding presence, Thurston exudes an air of authority and statesmanship. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this influential figure in Polynesian history. Thurston's significance lies not only in his legal expertise but also in his role as a key player during a crucial period for Hawaii. As an attorney, he fought tirelessly to protect the rights of the Hawaiian people amidst increasing American influence on the islands. His political career saw him advocating for annexation by the United States, which eventually came to pass. The image itself is a testament to both artistic talent and historical documentation. The intricate details of the wood engraving bring Thurston's features to life while capturing the spirit of late 19th-century America. It serves as a visual time capsule that transports viewers back to an era when Hawaii was undergoing significant changes. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of Thurston's enduring legacy—a man who dedicated himself to serving his people and shaping the future of Polynesia. This piece offers us a glimpse into history and invites us to reflect on how individuals like Thurston have shaped our world today.
