EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant color lithograph captures the regal presence of King David Kalakaua, the monarch of the Sandwich Islands (now known as Hawaii) in the late 19th century. Part of Allen & Ginter Cigarettes' "Worlds Sovereigns" series, this collectible cigarette card showcases a significant figure from American history. King Kalakaua, also known as David Laamea Kamananakapu Mahinulani Naloiaehuokalani Lumialani Kalakaua, was a revered leader who played a pivotal role in shaping Hawaiian culture and identity during his reign. The lithotint technique used to create this portrait brings out every intricate detail of his royal attire and dignified expression. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this remarkable piece within its collection, serving as a testament to both the artistic mastery of unknown creators and America's fascination with exotic cultures during that era. This image not only provides us with a glimpse into Hawaiian heritage but also highlights the cultural exchange between different nations at that time. As we admire this stunning print today, it serves as a reminder of King Kalakaua's significance in Hawaiian history and his contribution to preserving their unique traditions. It is through such historical artifacts that we can appreciate diverse cultures and gain insights into our shared human experience across continents and centuries.
