EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the essence of Sir John Bowring (1792-1872), a renowned traveler and author, who is best known for his significant contributions to the translation and dissemination of the poetry of the Sandwich Islands. Bowring's fascination with the exotic and the unknown led him on numerous voyages around the world, and his experiences in the Pacific Ocean, particularly in the Hawaiian Islands, left an indelible mark on his literary career. In this image, Bowring is depicted as a thoughtful and introspective figure, deep in concentration as he translates the beautiful and enigmatic verses of the Sandwich Island poets. The artist, Sir John Lavery Maclise, masterfully captures the intensity of Bowring's focus, as well as the rich cultural tapestry of the Hawaiian Islands that surround him. The lush greenery, vibrant flowers, and the tranquil waters of the Pacific Ocean serve as a backdrop to Bowring's intellectual pursuits, underscoring the deep connection between nature, art, and the human spirit. Bowring's translations of Hawaiian poetry were groundbreaking in their time, providing Europeans with a rare glimpse into the rich literary traditions of the Pacific Islands. His work helped to foster a greater appreciation for the unique cultural heritage of the Hawaiian people and paved the way for further exploration and understanding of the Pacific region. This portrait of Sir John Bowring, as the dedicated translator of the Sandwich Islands' poetry, is a testament to the power of literature to bridge cultural divides and inspire curiosity and wonder.
