The original of Kamehameha 1st was executed in 1817 by a Russian artist who accompanied Kotzebue in his voyage and may be seen by referring to the third volume of his voyage. The original of Kamehameha 2d was executed in England in 1824 in the style of the dress of George 4th's reign. We think those of Kamehameha 3d 4th and 5th are very good but not quite so good those of Lunalilo or His Majesty Kalakaua" p. 12. cf. Forbes 1726 unknown

Today ʻŌpūkahaʻia is best known as one of the first Hawaiians to convert to Christianity and an early translator of the Hawaiian language into English. His desire to become a missionary was among the inspirations for the opening of the Foreign Mission School in Cornwall Connecticut which published this posthumous biography. It was issued with a sermon delivered at ʻŌpūkahaʻia's funeral by Lyan Beecher and three other pieces related to the founding of the Foreign Mission School.

18803796<p><b>Scarce Chart of Oahu: Pearl Harbor to Diamond Head</b></p><p>This is a wonderfully detailed chart of the Pearl Harbor/Honolulu area. It names Diamond Head Waikiki Honolulu with street grid shown and Pearl Lochs later Pearl Harbor and locates numerous landmarks: school windmill leper asylum prison and several areas with heavy surf and breakers. </p><p>The chart appears to be directly derived from a larger separately issued chart of the same title that covered a somewhat larger area Hydrographic Office Chart no. 867. The larger chart was first issued in 1880 and updated at least through 1901. While a very short segment of Oahu R.R. is shown just west of Honolulu on the present chart the much longer stretch of the railway that looped around the northern portion of Pearl Lochs is not shown here as it is on the 1899 edition of the larger map. Since the main portion of the Oahu Railway was completed in late 1889 it suggests that the present map was completed prior to that date. We have been unable to determine the exact publication source of the map. In any case the chart as well as its larger relative is very uncommon; neither version is represented on OCLC. <br /></p><p><b>Condition: </b>Original fold lines. Repair of 1 ½" tear at binding edge.

1940222391940. Photographs of a Chinese American family in Hawaii dating primarily to the early 1940s document transpacific mobility family structure and cultural adaptation during World War II when Hawaii served as a critical military and social hub in the Pacific. The images capture multiple generations of a Chinese diaspora family in formal Western dress situating them within a community that had established significant economic and social presence in Honolulu by the wartime period. Produced in a context shaped by military buildup and shifting racial dynamics in the Pacific theater these photographs support research into Asian American history migration and family life during World War II.<br /> <br /> Archive consists of eighteen original black and white silver gelatin photographs ranging in size from approximately 3.25 x 4.5 inches to 4 x 6 inches. Several larger images depict the family posed on the deck of a passenger ship with individuals wearing flower lei garlands and formal attire indicating participation in departure or arrival ceremonies associated with transpacific travel. These shipboard photographs include men women children and elderly family members emphasizing intergenerational presence. Additional images show posed group portraits in outdoor settings such as gardens and residential yards documenting family gatherings and social presentation. A small number of later photographs extend beyond the wartime period maintaining continuity of the family group across time.<br /> <br /> These photographs were produced during a period when Chinese American communities in Hawaii occupied a distinct position within the islands' ethnic and economic structure with access to certain forms of integration not available to other groups under wartime racial policies. The presence of formal attire staged portraiture and travel imagery reflects both assimilation into American cultural norms and sustained connections across the Pacific. The shipboard scenes provide visual evidence of mobility and exchange at a moment when wartime conditions reshaped migration and identity in the region. Minor edge wear and light toning to a few photographs; images remain clear and well preserved; overall very good condition. This archive provides a focused visual record of Chinese American family life and transpacific movement in wartime Hawaii. unknown
1944224221944. Olson Laverne Edwin vernacular photo album circa 1944-1946 documents U.S. Navy enlisted service across the Philippines and Hawaii during the final phase of World War II and the immediate postwar occupation period providing direct visual and documentary evidence of military presence local communities and wartime social life in the Pacific Theater. The album is anchored by Olson's official U.S. Navy Certificate of Satisfactory Service confirming duty from December 18 1944 through April 23 1946 situating the material within the aftermath of the U.S. return to the Philippines following the Leyte landings and the transition into occupation and reconstruction. The photographs support research into Pacific War military infrastructure American servicemen's daily life and interactions with local populations in recently contested and strategically critical regions.<br /> <br /> Album titled "Snapshots: The Philippines and The Islands of Hawaii" compiled circa 1944-1946 contains 25 items: 23 silver gelatin photographs one wallet-sized U.S. Navy Certificate of Satisfactory Service and one Roosevelt Commemorative Birthday Ball exchange coupon dated January 30 1946. Album measures approximately 4.5 x 3.5 inches with most photographs approximately 4 x 2.5 inches. Images include candid and landscape views from the Philippines likely including Leyte depicting rural villages shoreline activity docked naval vessels and local labor such as fishing and canoe transport. One photograph shows a group of Filipino children and young men gathered along a beach while another captures men and boys navigating shallow coastal waters in a canoe. Hawaiian images include group recreation scenes and coastal landscapes reflecting off-duty life within a major U.S. naval hub. The Roosevelt Birthday Ball coupon printed with the slogan "Dance That Others May Walk" provided access to multiple Honolulu venues and connects the album to wartime charitable campaigns supporting polio treatment through organized social events.<br /> <br /> Created during the closing campaigns of the Pacific War and the first year of U.S. postwar presence in the Philippines the album situates an enlisted sailor within a broader military and geopolitical transformation that included amphibious warfare territorial reoccupation and the reestablishment of American administrative and logistical systems. The Philippines served as a critical site of both combat and reconstruction while Hawaii functioned as a central staging and support base for naval operations. The inclusion of both official documentation and leisure-related ephemera demonstrates how military service encompassed bureaucratic recordkeeping mobility across strategic locations and participation in organized morale and fundraising activities tied to the American home front. Light wear to album covers minor handling and edge wear to photographs with images remaining sharp; service certificate shows toning and wear; pages largely intact.

1945206941945. Unidentified U.S. Army soldier photo album and associated documents 1945 records American military life in Honolulu during the closing phase of World War II including the public celebration of Victory over Japan Day and the continued enforcement of wartime controls over civilian movement. Hawaii functioned as a central command base for U.S. operations in the Pacific and remained under martial law for much of the war shaping both military routine and civilian access. The album documents soldiers in barracks training fields and recreational spaces as well as street scenes in Honolulu and rural Hawaiian communities providing visual evidence of the interaction between stationed troops and local populations. Images of soldiers drilling with M1 Garand rifles and sidearms alongside informal photographs of leisure and camaraderie situate the compiler within the daily rhythms of military occupation. The inclusion of a large public parade marking the end of the war with participation by units of the Women's Army Corps anchors the album within a specific moment of transition from wartime mobilization to demobilization.<br /> <br /> Loose photo album consisting of six double sided leaves containing 126 sepia toned silver gelatin photographs accompanied by a small group of military and civilian ephemera all dating to 1945. Photographs are extensively captioned and depict Honolulu street scenes rural landscapes taverns filled with American servicemen military facilities including barracks and mess halls and training exercises demonstrating firing positions and weapons handling. One sequence documents the VJ Day parade in Honolulu with large assembled crowds. The archive also includes six official letters a war ration book a mileage ration ticket book and a tire inspection record belonging to a civilian woman seeking authorization to travel to Hawaii reflecting the bureaucratic process required under wartime restrictions. Two newspaper clippings profiling American servicemen are mounted on the final leaf.<br /> <br /> This grouping brings together frontline-adjacent military documentation and home front administrative records illustrating how wartime governance extended beyond the battlefield into civilian mobility and domestic logistics. The travel documents demonstrate the regulatory environment imposed by military authorities in Hawaii where entry required formal approval while the photographs capture both the operational infrastructure of the Pacific theater and the social world of enlisted men stationed far from the continental United States. The juxtaposition of parade imagery training exercises and everyday scenes of urban and rural Hawaii provides a layered record of American presence in the islands at the moment of war's conclusion. Chipping and wear to the margins of album leaves; photographs remain well adhered with clear legible captions. Overall good condition. unknown
