EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, created by Karl Joseph Brodtmann in 1836, showcases the regal presence of two Native Hawaiian leaders, Kalaimanokahoowaha, also known as Kanaina, and his wife Poeta. The image is based on earlier sketches by John Webber during his visit to the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii) in the late 18th century. Kalaimanokahoowaha, the chief, is depicted wearing an impressive helmet made of feathers, symbolizing his high rank and power. His cloak, also adorned with vibrant feathers, adds to his majestic appearance. Poeta, his wife, is equally resplendent, bedecked in a beautiful feather lei around her neck and beads intricately woven into her hair. The ethnographic detail in this print is remarkable, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural traditions of the Hawaiian people during this time. The intricate featherwork, beadwork, and the natural beauty of the subjects are all captured with remarkable precision and artistry. This image is a testament to the vibrant and diverse indigenous cultures that once thrived in the Pacific Islands. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the history and heritage of these communities, which continue to inspire and captivate us today.
