- Lot Description
North Pacific, Hawaiian Islands, Honolulu, ca. 1850. A page from the newspaper the "The Polynesian" published on March 23rd, 1850, re-counting an attempt by French Forces to take over Hawaii as a territory. The left side contains two columns of advertisements for merchants and a third column with notices, and the main article starts halfway down this column, titled "The French Outrage." The article is reprinted from the "Boston Evening Traveler" and describes the events leading up to the sacking of Honolulu by the French and includes a letter that the French consul, Guillaume Patrice Dillon, sent to the French Foreign Office. The subsequent invasion of Honolulu in 1848 by French Marines under Louis Tromelin was a direct result of Dillon's hostility towards the Hawaiian Government for the treatment of Catholics and other perceived injustices. This page is an astonishing document that contains history of the Hawaiian Islands is largely forgotten today. Size (page): 21" L x 14.75" W (53.3 cm x 37.5 cm); (frame): 29.25" L x 23.5" W (74.3 cm x 59.7 cm)
"The Polynesian" was a weekly newspaper started by an American editor publisher and editor in Honolulu, the first series ran from 1840 to 1841, when it contained little more than advertisements. After the paper was restarted in 1844, "The Polynesian" became the official publication of the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1845 when the Hawaiian government bought the paper and declared the subsequent editions to be the "Official Journal of the Hawaiian Government." While printed under the Hawaiian government the paper was still a commercial enterprise intended mainly for Honolulu's foreign or American residents, and the editors were non-native and pushed the paper to promote Western ideas and many articles were heavily ethnocentric. The Polynesian represents the conflict and strains that Hawaiians and foreigners were experiencing as the many cultures tried to cohabit the islands. The paper served to spread local and international news, business, and publicize laws, criminal codes, and policies of Kamehameha III and his successor, King Kamehameha IV. This page is an invaluable resource for a historical event that few outside the islands know!
