Can you help? Hawaiian Medal?


We recently received this emailed letter:

I just noticed your recent thread on LinkedIn (Historians, Librarians, and Archivists), which reminded me of a late nineteenth-century, cabinet photo in my collection of a man wearing a medal, the photographer was A.S. Hood, a Hawaiian photographer. The medal worn is the Royal Order of Kapiolani, which was awarded sparingly (the last in 1892). (Click here)

Given the scarcity of the medal, my hope is that the sitter was a well-known personage within the circle of King Kalākaua. I asked the Bishop museum some years ago if they had an idea of whom the sitter was, but it was beyond their ken. I had hoped it would be an easy task given the various Hawai'i orders and decorations were not bestowed lightly (within the kingdom, at least). I will attach the image and allow your members to muse on the identity of the sitter. With many thanks for your attention,

Sincerely,

William P. Jones, J.D., M.A.
