Hawaii – Their Last Princess
Several photographers visited Hawaii in the early 1880s when it was still an independent nation. In the early 1890s, some of the Kingdom’s most amazing photographs were taken. This stunning portrait was produced in 1893, and Princess Kaiulani was photographed.
The photograph was taken by Elmer Chickering not long before the United States embassy in the Kingdom overthrew its monarchy. Princess Kaiulani was the last royal princess of Hawaii before the United States annexed it in 1900.
