EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the regal presence of Tamehamalu, Her Majesty the Queen of the Sandwich Islands, in 1824. Created by John Hayter and now part of a private collection, this portrait showcases the beauty and grace of this Hawaiian queen. Tamehamalu, also known as Kamamalu, was a prominent figure in Hawaiian history. The image portrays her during her visit to London, an event that would tragically lead to her untimely demise. Both she and her king contracted measles during their stay in England, resulting in their unfortunate deaths. In this half-length portrait, Tamehamalu exudes elegance and power. She is depicted wearing traditional Georgian attire adorned with feathers—a symbol of royalty among Pacific Island cultures. Her majestic feathered hat adds height to her stature while emphasizing her status as queen. The artist skillfully captures Tamehamalu's striking features—her piercing eyes convey wisdom and strength while her serene expression hints at a deep sense of responsibility towards her people. This print serves as a poignant reminder not only of Tamehamalu's remarkable beauty but also of the tragic consequences that befell both herself and King Kamehameha II due to their encounter with foreign diseases. It stands as a testament to the enduring legacy left behind by these influential figures from Hawaii's rich history.
