PINAO BRICKWOOD MEMORIAL COLLECTION INTRODUCTION The Pinao Brickwood Memorial Collection of Hawaiian prints, maps and etchings was donated to the Territory of Hawaii by Victor S. K. Houston in October, 1938. The Archives was designated as the repository. The collection was originally framed and on public display. Subsequently the material was removed from display, the frames were discarded and the collection was stored under conditions intended to enhance long­ term preservation. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Pinao G. Brickwood Born in Honolulu ca. 1876 Married Victor S. K. Houston July 19, 1909 Died in Honolulu September 27, 1936 Source: Honolulu Advertiser, 9/28/1936, pl SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE The collection was assembled by Victor S. K. Houston over the span of many years. It originally consisted of approximately 122 framed prints of Hawaiiana and ten framed maps of Honolulu Harbor. In 1940, additional prints were received from Mr. Houston and added to the Collection. Whether or not it was Mr. Houston's intent that this subsequent gift be added to the collection cannot be determined from available records. The maps were transferred to the Map Collection. See also: Photo Collection, voyage prints Victor S.K. Houston Collection (M-68) SERIES DESCRIPTION 1. Prints and Photographs. 1778-1841, 1867, 1928. 4 linear inches in 2 drop front print boxes. As presently constituted, the collection consists of 157 prints (engravings, lithographs) from originals done by artists who accompanied early European explorers, including John Webber, 1 M-483 P. Brickwood Coll. James Clevely, Louis Choris and Jacques Arago. See the attached inventory. The subjects of the prints include natives, villages, cultural activities and incidents (such as the death of Captain Cook). There are in addition a few photographs of artifacts, such as Captain Cook memorial coins. The collection provides insights into the cultural landscape of immediate post-western contact Hawaii.

  • The Death of Captain Cook in Theatre 224
    The Many Deaths of Captain Cook A Study in Metropolitan Mass Culture, 1780-1810 Ruth Scobie PhD University of York Department of English April 2013 i Ruth Scobie The Many Deaths of Captain Cook Abstract This thesis traces metropolitan representations, between 1780 and 1810, of the violent death of Captain James Cook at Kealakekua Bay in Hawaii. It takes an interdisciplinary approach to these representations, in order to show how the interlinked texts of a nascent commercial culture initiated the creation of a colonial character, identified by Epeli Hau’ofa as the looming “ghost of Captain Cook.” The introduction sets out the circumstances of Cook’s death and existing metropolitan reputation in 1779. It situates the figure of Cook within contemporary mechanisms of ‘celebrity,’ related to notions of mass metropolitan culture. It argues that previous accounts of Cook’s fame have tended to overemphasise the immediacy and unanimity with which the dead Cook was adopted as an imperialist hero; with the result that the role of the scene within colonialist histories can appear inevitable, even natural. In response, I show that a contested mythology around Cook’s death was gradually constructed over the three decades after the incident took place, and was the contingent product of a range of texts, places, events, and individuals. The first section examines responses to the news of Cook’s death in January 1780, focusing on the way that the story was mediated by, first, its status as ‘news,’ created by newspapers; and second, the effects on Londoners of the Gordon riots in June of the same year.

  • In Polynesia: the Samoan Case
    Illustrations SAMOA Early European views… In relation to the encounters with Samoans, no drawing was made (or survived) from the Bougainville expedition or from the Lapérouse expedition. For the official and posthumous publication of the Lapérouse expedition narrative (1797), only the `Massacre' was drawn and engraved by Parisian artists (in a style which departed from the 1770-1790s' `noble' representations of Tahitians; see pictures in the section on Tahiti). This view went right through into the German colonial period: the 1797 French engraving was reproduced or redrawn many times, as in this case (pl. 2) for a German account of Samoa. The author, formerly Supreme Judge of `German Samoa', has compared on two adjacent pages what he called in his captions the `Samoan raid on the French' (pl. 2) and the `Hawaiian murder of Captain Cook' (pl. 4). 211 ‘First Contacts’ in Polynesia … and colonial times In 1883, the French had elevated on the site a monument stating that their marines gave their life `for science and for their country'. It is in another German colonial book of 1902 that the picture of this French statement found a place (pl. 3). The same German literature gives us an example of the dominating European male gaze at Samoan girls (pl. 5)--captionned just: `Stilleben' (`Quiet Life')! 212 Illustrations From the Dumont d'Urville expedition, we have only sketches of houses and of Apia, with a few drawings of Samoan faces so conventional that they have no historical value, and one magnificent drawing of the inside of a house fale

Kholodny Institute of Botany National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine 2 Tereshchenkivska Street Kiev (Kyiv), 01004 Ukraine [email protected] ABSTRACT Corrections and additions are provided for the existing typifications of plant names in Artemisia subg. Tridentatae . In particular, second-step lectotypifications are proposed for the names Artemisia trifida Nutt., nom. illeg. (A. tripartita Rydb., the currently accepted replacement name), A. fischeriana Besser (= A. californica Lessing, the currently accepted name), and A. pedatifida Nutt. For several nomenclatural types of names listed in earlier publications as "holotypes," the type designations are corrected to lectotypes (Art. 9.9. of ICN ). Newly discovered authentic specimens (mostly isolectotypes) of several names in the group are listed and discussed, mainly based on specimens deposited in the Besser and Turczaninov memorial herbaria at the National Herbarium of Ukraine (KW). The Turczaninov herbarium is particularly rich in Nuttall's specimens, which are often better represented and better preserved than corresponding specimens available from BM, GH, K, PH, and some other major herbaria.

    HONOLULU ACADEMY OF ARTS Volume Six March-1938 Bulletin One Queen K aahumanu I ,, it hogra ph b y N o1·bli11, a fter C hor is. HAWAIIAN PRINTS Another group of early Hawaiian prints has been added to the collection of the Honolulu Academy of Arts. It comprises seventeen lithographs by the artist-draughtsman, Louis Choris, who visited Hawaii in 1816 and 1817 with the Russian Exploring Expedition commanded by Otto von Kotzebue. In the voyages of discovery to the Pacific in the eigh­ teenth and early nineteenth centuries, the ships' companies usually included artists as well as navigators and scientists. Upon the return of the expeditions to their home countries in Europe, accounts were published by the leaders and were illustrated by prints made from the artists' sketches. The Russian voyage is one of particular interest to students of Hawaiiana because it resulted in the publication of a large number of relatively accurate and definitely charming illustrations of early Hawaii, and because its 4 artist, Choris, is the only person known to have painted from life a portrait of the famous Hawaiian king, Kame~ hameha I. In 1821 Captain Kotzebue published the first edition of his official account of the voyage under the title, Entdec~ kungs Reise in die Sud~See und nach de Berings Strasse sur Erforsehung einer Nordostlichen Durchfahrt, 1815~18 (Voyage of Exploration in the South Seas and the Bering Straits for the Discovery of a Northwest Passage). This book, published in Weimar, Germany, was illustrated by a number of charts and colored engravings. Two of these were of Hawaiian subjects; one was the portrait of Kame~ hameha I wearing a red waistcoat.

  • Bernard Smith
    7 Constructing “Pacific” Peoples1 Bernard Smith It is generally agreed that Cook’s three voyages greatly enhanced the economic and political power of Europe in the Pacific. But before such power could be fully exercised, certain basic sciences and tech- nologies, the efficient maidservants of power, had themselves to be enhanced. Cook’s voyages advanced astronomy, navigation, and car- tography or, as he might have put it, geographical science. But there were other sciences of less direct concern to the Admiralty enhanced by his voyages, and these contributed also in their time to European domination in the Pacific—namely natural history, meteorology, and the emergent science of ethnography. Important advances were made in all these sciences continually throughout the three voyages, but there were differences in emphasis. The first voyage is the botanical voyage, par excellence, the second is the meteorological voyage, and the third is the ethnographic voyage. These changing emphases were owing largely, though not entirely, to contingent factors. On the Endeavour voyage, Banks, Solander, and Parkinson, with their interests centered on botany, made a powerful team. On the second voyage, Cook himself, his astronomers Wales and Bayly, the two Forsters, and William Hodges were all deeply inter- ested in the changing conditions of wind and weather, light, and atmo- sphere as they traversed vast sections of the southern oceans. By the third voyage Cook had come to realize that both scientific and popular A longer version of this chapter was published in Imagining the Pacific: In the Wake of the Cook Voyages, by Bernard Smith (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1992), 193–221.

ABSTRACT The central purpose of this study is to provide a single source of data on demography and employment, formal and informal social institutions and infrastructure for analysis of sociocultural and socioeconomic condi- tions in Kotzebue, the administrative and commercial center for a northwest Alaska region of eleven Inupiaq villages with a 1985 population of about 5,790 persons and headquarters for the NANA Regional Corporation and for the recently (1986) formed Northwest Arctic Borough. The Kotzebue area was a social and trading cross-roads for hundreds of years before contact. By the beginning of the twentieth century, the region’s indigenous sociopolitical order had been virtually extinguished, numerous Western political, social and economic institutions had become established, and a period of institutional consolidation and~ later, Native political enfranchisement was beginning.
