1914réf. 3378Various locations in Southern California and Hawaii 1914. About very good. Sixty-one leaves illustrated with 214 mounted silver gelatin photographs most with manuscript annotations in white ink; plus numerous mounted postcards menus and assorted ephemera. Oblong quarto. Contemporary black textured limp cloth over boards. Edges a bit chipped and tattered inelegant black tape repairs to spine. First leaf detached contents otherwise clean. A wonderful annotated vernacular photograph album documenting a well-to-do family's vacation to Hawaii via brief stops along the West Coast in 1914. The album opens with a group image of the travelers in San Francisco numbering around twenty-two men women and children captioned "Southern California - Honolulu." This is followed by several pages picturing their initial journey from Seattle down to San Pedro Los Angeles and San Diego before they departed for Honolulu on the S.S. Matsonia on June 17. A passenger list is included and many of the images are captioned with the names of the subjects providing a nice opportunity for identifying the travelers by cross-referencing the passenger list. The group spends their vacation time at the Sea Side Hotel on Waikiki Beach in bathing houses and on the beach visiting local businesses plantations and other hotels surfing fishing and more. Through the course of the album much of the landscape of Waikiki is featured providing a snapshot of the hotel and details of its surroundings along with shots of a "Native Village" sugar cane fields and a plantation pineapple fields street views of Honolulu a picnic for "Kids of all nations" at Waikiki the Port of Honolulu and more. The album also features a few early images of surfing at Waikiki Beach. In mid-July true to the title of the album the group heads back across the Pacific Ocean aboard the R.M.S. Niagara after just one month. Most notable among the photographs are about thirty risqué images of local Hawaiian women interspersed throughout. The pictures of the "Native Girls" often feature them topless or scantily clad identifying them with additional captions such as "Hawaiian Beauty" "Maidens bathing" "Girls" "Hula Hula Dancers" and "The Ex. Queen of Hawaii." One group shot shows ten Hawaiian women eating fish captioned "'Lunau' sic Lu'au or Native feast." Another side-view image of a naked Hawaiian woman is annotated "The Natives are a sturdy race of people." There are also numerous images featuring other indigenous Hawaiian people in a variety of settings including a couple of images showing a "Hawaiian boy climbing a cocoa nut palm" two pictures of "Native fisher boys" a "Native hut" "Hawaiian kiddies" a "Native canoeist" a "Group of Natives" a "Native Priest - looks as if he had been fasting for some time" and images showing "Natives selling 'Leis' for departing visitors" and "Native 'Leis' vendors on Honolulu." The images of the Hawaiian women as well as the men combined with the captions provide an opportunity for further studying the ways in which affluent American mainlanders have traditionally viewed indigenous Hawaiians and other native peoples encountered throughout the world. In addition to the passenger list mentioned above the ephemeral items include shipboard menus a program for an onboard concert newspaper clippings cigar labels and postcards. The latter includes a series of forty-one vibrantly-colored postcards illustrated with Hawaiian fish. An interesting travel album detailing a trip to Hawaii at the outset of the First World War with many notable observations on indigenous peoples in Honolulu especially the young women of the island. unknown

1816réf. 68845New York: Printed by J. Seymour 1816. Inspiration for the First Mission to Hawaii A rare account of the lives of the five Hawaiian youths who would come to form a core of initial students enrolled at the new Foreign Mission School established at Cornwall Connecticut in 1816. The school formed under the auspices of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions ABCFM would serve to educate foreign students in preparation for missionary work in their native lands and elsewhere. Published in 1816 A Narrative of Five Youth from the Sandwich Islands was the first of many publications intended to raise funds and stir up popular support for the new school as well as for the first Christian mission sent to the Hawaiian Islands three years later. As such it served as part of the early efforts to bring Hawaii within the cultural and commercial orbit of the United States. By the second decade of the 19th century Hawaii had become an integral part of America's burgeoning China trade serving not only as a crucial resupply hub and convenient stopover for Yankee ships sailing between North America and China and around Cape Horn but also as a lucrative source of sandalwood which American merchants traded in exchange for Chinese silk tea and porcelain. Where American merchants saw commercial possibilities however Protestant missionaries saw opportunities for Christian conversion. In April 1809 two Hawaiian youths Henry Obookiah and Thomas Hopoo arrived in New York aboard the China trade ship Triumph in the hope of receiving an education in the United States. Shortly after their arrival the two took up residence in the New Haven home of the ship's captain Caleb Brintnall. There Obookiah quickly came to the attention of several Yale students who offered to tutor him. Soon he was invited to join the household of Yale president Timothy Dwight. As John Demos explains in his history of the Foreign Mission School where Obookiah became the star student and "the most famous Hawaiian emigrant of his time" "Dwight's home was the starting point" of an eight-year odyssey "that would take Obookiah into three states eight different towns and at least a dozen separate families scattered across the New England countryside" and which culminated in his conversion to Christianity and admission to church membership in 1814. Obookiah and Hopoo were eventually joined by three other Hawaiian youths William Tennooe John Honoree and George Prince Tamoree the son of a Hawaiian king. The stories of these five youths shared "a number of common elements. All had spent time as sailors on American trade ships. Three had served at sea in the War of 1812. Most had experienced periods of extreme hardship after reaching New England.All had sooner or later found sponsors teachers and spiritual guides. All had been moved through a kind of missionary pipeline centered in New Haven but reaching out well across the Connecticut countryside" Demos. Together the five Hawaiian youths would "become the founding nucleus of an institution unlike any previously seen on American soil" Demos. The Narrative was part of a publicity campaign designed to raise funds for the new school and for an eventual mission to Hawaii. As Demos explains the Narrative originated as "a 'manuscript account'" of the "lives and prospects" of the five Hawaiian youths "written some months before by parties unknown and circulated by hand in the interim; the agents of the school were eager to arrange its publication "for the information and excitement of the Christian public.'.it was printed in New York in the last weeks of the year 1816." Such publications "capitalized on the interest in the Sandwich Islands and the islands of the Pacific that had begun gradually with the first sales of the journals and logs from the voyages of Captain Cook the much-performed pantomime of his death and the ubiquitous commercial news that related the daily comings and goings of ships from New England to the Pacific" Arista. A New Jersey issue of the Narrative appeared in the same year; it is not known which preceded the other. The text gives biographies of each of the five youths discusses their activities and experiences in America and prints various letters written by them. According to the authors the Narrative offered "a simple and authentic statement of facts respecting the youth now under the care of the agents; with specimens of their ability and improvement." The final pages discuss the establishment of the Foreign Mission School at Cornwall and include the text of the school's constitution. As the constitution states the object of the school would be "the education of heathen youth in such a manner as that.they may be qualified to become missionaries schoolmasters interpreters physicians or surgeons among heathen nations and to communicate such information in agriculture and the arts as shall tend to promote Christianity and civilization." The Narrative Demos explains "was perfectly timed to catch a rising wave of public interest in 'heathens' abroad.Not coincidentally donations to the ABCFM would soar—from just over $12000 to nearly $30000—in the year of the Mission School's founding." Tragically in 1818 two years after the publication of the Narrative Obookiah died of typhus. His Memoirs edited by Edwin Dwight were published shortly thereafter and the success of that book inspired a wave of interest in the islands which culminated in the sailing of the first missionary bark Thaddeus for Hawaii on October 23 1819. Over the course of nearly a decade from 1817 to 1826 some 100 students from around the world passed through the doors of the Foreign Mission School at Cornwall. They included Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders; Native Americans including Cherokees Choctaws Creeks and others; students from East Asia including China India and the Malay Peninsula; and others from Europe Mexico and throughout the United States. A rare and significant piece of Hawaiiana and part of some of the earliest efforts to bring Hawaii under the cultural influence of the United States. Dbd. Stitched gathering.
