EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a hand-colored woodcut of Kamehameha I, the revered King of Hawaii. The intricate illustration, dating back to the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the rich history and royal lineage of this Pacific island nation. Kamehameha I is depicted in regal attire, exuding power and authority befitting his status as a monarch. The vibrant colors meticulously added to this vintage artwork bring it to life, allowing us to appreciate the artistry that went into its creation. This piece serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of Hawaiian culture during the 18th and 19th centuries. Kamehameha I was not only known for his leadership but also for unifying the Hawaiian Islands under one rule. As such, he earned titles like "Kahmehameha the Great" and "King of Hawaii" or "King of the Sandwich Islands" as they were called at that time. This print from North Wind Picture Archives transports us back in time, offering a window into an era when Hawaii was still known as an independent kingdom before becoming part of the United States. It reminds us of our shared heritage with North America's indigenous cultures while celebrating their unique contributions to art and history.
