EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century print depicts Poulaho, the revered King of the Friendly Islands, or Tonga, during the time of Captain James Cook's historic visit in the 1770s. The image showcases Poulaho's regal presence and ethnic beauty, as he proudly dons an elaborate headdress adorned with vibrant feathers. The intricate design of the headdress, along with the rich colors and textures of his clothing, underscore the unique cultural traditions of the Tongan people. Poulaho's warm welcome of Captain Cook and his crew marked a significant moment in the exploration of the Pacific. The Friendly Islands earned their name due to the hospitable reception given to European visitors by the Tongan people, a stark contrast to the encounters with other islanders during this era. The King's portrayal in this print serves as a testament to the respect and admiration that Poulaho commanded among his people and among the early European explorers. His image has been passed down through generations, preserving the legacy of a remarkable leader and the rich history of the Tongan people.
