EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Hawaiian woman from the 18th century, adorned with exquisite feather leis. The artist behind this remarkable portrait is none other than John Webber, known for his exceptional depictions of Pacific Island culture. This particular artwork can be found in the esteemed collection of the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum in Honolulu. The image captures the grace and beauty of this female figure, her expression revealing a sense of pride and strength. Her hair is intricately styled with an ornate hair ornament, adding to her regal appearance. The feathered lei she wears around her neck serves as a symbol of status and prestige within Hawaiian society. As we gaze at this monochrome engraving, we are transported back to a time when traditional jewelry played an integral role in cultural identity. The fine craftsmanship evident in both her necklace and attire reflects the rich heritage of Hawaii's indigenous people. John Webber's artistry skillfully portrays not only the physical features but also conveys a glimpse into the soulful essence of this Hawaiian lady. This print serves as a valuable historical document that allows us to appreciate and honor the traditions passed down through generations on these beautiful Pacific Islands.
