EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Emma, Queen Dowager of the Sandwich Islands, a remarkable figure from the 19th century. The image showcases her regal presence and dignified demeanor, capturing the essence of her royal status. Emma was an influential queen who played a significant role in Hawaiian history. As the wife of King Kamehameha IV and mother to Prince Albert Edward Kauikeaouli, she held immense power and respect within the kingdom. Her reign as queen dowager after her husband's death further solidified her position as a prominent figure in Hawaiian royalty. The artist has beautifully captured Emma's elegance through intricate details, showcasing her elaborate attire adorned with traditional Polynesian motifs. Her serene expression exudes grace and wisdom, reflecting her esteemed position as a leader. This engraving was originally featured in The Illustrated London News in August 1865, allowing readers to catch a glimpse into the exotic world of Hawaii during that time. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation of Queen Emma's legacy. As we admire this print today, we are reminded of Queen Emma's enduring impact on Hawaiian culture and society. Her dedication to preserving native traditions while embracing modernization continues to inspire generations around the world.
