Additional Information Published by prominent Hawaiian born William DeWitt Alexander, this unique depiction of the Hawaiian State Capital of Honolulu shows the iconic city in a period of significant transformation. Hawaii was some six years away from achieving statehood in 1893, but Honolulu had already been established as the commercial center for the island chain. Many prominent merchants had flocked to the city, which had come to be down for its thriving port and as a waypoint for ships sailing to Southeast Asia, Japan, and Australia. As these businesses were established, the city began to flourish and gain notoriety as a popular tourist destination as early as the 1880s. Honolulu experienced a population and tourism boom following the annexation and State stats of the islands as Americans flocked to the region, spurring an economic boom never before seen in the region. This sparked broad interest in the region, and Alexander was tasked with mapping many areas and towns throughout Hawaii. His maps were known for their attention to detail and accuracy in depicting the dramatic terrain on the islands. The late nineteenth century marked the end of a turbulent century for the Hawaiian Islands, and as the islands neared the turn of the twentieth-century residents were creating a unique culture that was a blend of local traditions and new American cultures that established neighborhoods and communities, many of which exist to this day. The distinctive aesthetic immediately transports the viewer back in time, creating a bond between the past and present.
