EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Karl Joseph Brodtmann showcases the esteemed Hawaiian chief, Kalaimanokahoowaha or Kanaina, adorned in a magnificent feather helmet and cloak. The intricate details of his attire highlight the rich cultural heritage of the Hawaiian people. His wife, Poeta, stands beside him wearing a beautiful feather lei necklace and beads delicately placed in her hair. The image is based on John Webber's original artwork, capturing the essence of these prominent figures from Hawaiian history. Their regal presence exudes power and authority as they are immortalized in this stunning portrait. Brodtmann's skillful engraving technique brings out every fine detail, creating a black-and-white masterpiece that emphasizes their features with striking clarity. The lithograph is part of Heinrich Rudolf Schinz's Illustrated Natural History of Men and Animals published in 1836. This print offers us a glimpse into the ethnography of Hawaii during the early 19th century. It serves as a reminder of the beauty and diversity found within different cultures around the world. Florilegius has preserved this historical gem for future generations to appreciate and learn from. As we admire this artwork, we are transported back to an era where chiefs like Kalaimanokahoowaha or Kanaina held immense influence over their tribe while their wives like Poeta showcased elegance through their adornments.
