EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour engraving from the 19th century depicts a significant moment in Hawaiian history - the annexation of Honolulu by the United States in 1898. The image shows a crowd of Hawaiians receiving the news of this pivotal event, their expressions ranging from shock to resignation.
The American flag flies prominently in the background, symbolizing the arrival of US influence on these Pacific islands. The scene captures a mix of emotions - pride, patriotism, uncertainty, and perhaps even fear among the native Hawaiians as they come to terms with this new chapter in their history.
The artist has skillfully portrayed the diversity within the crowd, showcasing men, women, and children all reacting differently to this momentous announcement. The colours used in this engraving add depth and vibrancy to the scene, bringing it to life for viewers centuries later.
As we reflect on this historical event through this print, we are reminded of the complex relationship between Hawaii and America. This image serves as a poignant reminder of how colonialism and imperialism have shaped our world - a reminder that is both thought-provoking and visually striking.
