EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Kalaimanokahoowaha or Kanaina, Chief of the Sandwich Islands, with his Wife Poeta, and Masked Warriors," is an exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving from Giulio Ferrario's Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World, published in Florence, Italy, in 1844. The engraving, created by Sasso after a painting by John Webber, offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Hawaiian Islands. At the center of the image, we find Kalaimanokahoowaha, or Kanaina, the Hawaiian chief, proudly wearing a helmet and a cloak made of vibrant feathers. His wife, Poeta, is adorned with a beautiful feather lei necklace and beads intricately woven into her hair. The serene expression on their faces speaks of their regal status and deep connection to their land. Surrounding the couple, masked warriors paddle a canoe, their faces concealed by kahuna gourd masks. These masks, an essential part of Hawaiian warrior culture, were believed to protect the wearer and instill fear in the enemy. The canoe, a symbol of the Hawaiian people's mastery of the sea, adds to the overall sense of strength and power in the image. This illustration offers a unique window into the ancient Hawaiian culture, showcasing their distinctive attire, customs, and way of life. The intricate details, vibrant colors, and meticulous craftsmanship make it an invaluable historical and artistic treasure.
