EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Kamehameha V, centre, with his family" takes us back to a significant moment in history. This illustration from The World in the Hands, engraved by Henri Theophile Hildibrand and published in 1878, offers a glimpse into the life of Kamehameha V and his loved ones. In this remarkable image, we see Kamehameha V standing at the center with an air of authority and grace. Surrounding him are members of his royal family, their presence exuding elegance and prestige. Dressed in Western attire, they stand on the steps outside the palace against a backdrop that symbolizes colonial influence. As King of Hawaii from 1863 to 1872, Kamehameha V played a crucial role in shaping Hawaiian history during a time when Western powers were exerting their influence over Oceania. His reign marked both resistance to colonization and adaptation to changing times. This photograph captures not only the beauty of Polynesian court culture but also serves as a reminder of Hawaii's rich heritage. It invites us to reflect on the complex dynamics between tradition and modernity that shaped this era. Preserved within this private collection for generations, this engraving allows us to appreciate Emile Antoine Bayard's artistic talent while offering insight into an important chapter in Hawaiian history.
