EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white lithograph captures the regal presence of Rhio Rhio, the esteemed monarch who ruled over the enchanting Sandwich Islands in the early 19th century. The portrait, originally featured in the Ladys Magazine of London in 1824, showcases an indigenous male figure exuding power and grace. In this remarkable piece of ethnography and ethnology, we witness a snapshot from a bygone era - a time when Hawaii was known as the Sandwich Islands to Western explorers. The print offers us a rare glimpse into Hawaiian history and culture during this pivotal period. Rhio Rhio's commanding presence is evident through his dignified posture and royal attire.

As we admire this lithograph today courtesy of Heritage Images' collection curated by The Print Collector, let us reflect upon the legacy left behind by figures like King Rheo Rhio - individuals who shaped history while
