Artist's Description
Princess Kaiulani was born on October 16, 1875 during the reign of Hawaiian King Kalakaua. When she was 13, the princess met poet Robert Louis Stevenson, who had moved into the residence next door. The two became fast friends. When King Kalakaua died, Kaiulani was named heir apparent by his sister Liliuokalani, who became Hawaii's Queen. Alas, Queen Liliuokalani was eventually forced to abdicate her throne, and the monarchy was no more. Instead, Hawaii was about to be named a republic by U.S. President William McKinley. At 23, Kaiulani contracted a rare illness that took her life, March 6, 1899. In his writings, Robert Louis Stevenson endearingly recalled that Princess Victoria Kaiulani was "...more beautiful than the fairest flower." Tall, slim and beautiful, Princess Kaiulani captured the hearts of all who met her.
This is a restored photograph of Princess Kaiulani, put together with a Hawaiian pink torch ginger flower.
About James Temple
I've lived in Hawaii since 2002, 1200 feet above sea level, on the small rural island of Moloka'i. It is very quiet here, with only about 7,400 residents. I appreciate the quiet life after spending 35 years as a commercial illustrator, senior art director and design director for major advertising agencies and design studios in Chicago, San Francisco and Palo Alto California. I've always loved cooking. In 2002 that love led me to a degree in the Culinary Arts just before moving to Hawaii. Since then I designed and built a house, worked in local restaurants, self-published three cookbooks, and took up photography as a hobby. Now retired, I spend most of my time developing recipes and photographing them, plus researching and writing...
