Queen Kaonoe or Kaou-Onoe of Hawaii - A Glimpse into Polynesian Royalty
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the regal beauty and cultural significance of Queen Kaonoe or Kaou-Onoe, a prominent figure in Hawaiian history. The image showcases her adorned with a magnificent headdress, an elaborate necklace, and intricate tattoos on her face and body. As one of the revered monarchs of the Sandwich Islands (now known as Hawaii), Queen Kaonoe exudes power and grace through this portrait. Her bare-breasted depiction symbolizes both her status as a queen and the traditional customs of her people. The handcoloured woodcut by Doms after Jacques Arago's original painting provides us with a rare glimpse into the life and attire of Hawaiian royalty during the 18th-19th century. This artwork is part of Auguste Wahlens' comprehensive collection titled "Manners, Customs, and Costumes of all the People in the World" which offers valuable insights into global cultures. Queen Kaonoe's presence in this image not only highlights her role as a political leader but also sheds light on Polynesian fashion trends at that time. Her striking tattoos add to her allure while reflecting traditional tattooing practices within Hawaiian culture. This print serves as a testament to Queen Kaonoe's enduring legacy as well as an exploration into Hawaii's rich heritage. It invites viewers to appreciate the artistry behind historical engravings while offering glimpses into distant lands and their fascinating inhabitants.
