EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Nomahanna, a prominent figure in Hawaiian history. Painted by Ludwig Choris between 1805 and 1828, this conceptually striking portrait showcases a big and glum woman dressed in traditional attire. Nomahanna's large dress with a ruff collar accentuates her regal presence, while her distinctive hairstyle adds to her allure. As one of the chiefesses of Hawaii during that era, Nomahanna held significant influence over her people and played an important role in shaping the Pacific Islands' culture. This engraving, found in the collection of the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum in Honolulu, offers a glimpse into the exterior world where she resided. The monochrome art media used for this print enhances its timeless appeal. The photographer skillfully captures Nomahanna's somber expression, hinting at perhaps deeper emotions or reflections on life as a leader. Her stature suggests power and authority while also highlighting her physical attributes. This image serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation of Chiefess Nomahanna's legacy. Preserved by AccuSoft Inc. , it allows us to appreciate the beauty and strength embodied by women like Nomahanna who shaped Hawaiian society during this period.
