Stippled portraits of Queen Kamamalu from the British original, <i>Tamehamalu, Queen of the Sandwich Islands, aged 22 years, from a drawing made by the express desire of Her Majesty.</i> Printed and sold by J.

"Kamamalu (1802–1824) was the daughter of Kamehameha I and Kaheiheimalie. She was named Kamehamalu ("under the protection of Kamehameha") but was commonly called Kamamalu. Kamamalu was one of the several wives of Liholiho,better known to Westerners as Kamehameha II. When the royal couple were in London in May 1824, they sat several times for their portraits Those of of Kamamalu include an elaborate "state" portrait (now in Iolani Palace, Honolulu) and an informal bust-length portrait by John Hayter, of which this is a reproduction. Here the chiefess is depicted facing slightly to the right, dressed in a low-necked gown with an elaborate ruffle. Her hair is elaborately arranged, but without the feathers in the official likeness Apart from a modest earring, she is devoid of jewelry. The original, small-format, "unofficial" Hayter painting of 1824 (now in the Honolulu Academy of Arts) was immediately reproduced by lithography, and subsequently several oil copies were produced either from the lithographs or the original oil portrait in China. It is from one of the latter, which had found its way to Hawaii, that the Lahainaluna version was executed. The Lahainaluna version approximately the same size as one of the Chinese oil copes (examples of which are in the Bishop Museum and the Honolulu Academy of Arts). The Kamamalu portrait (probably engraved shortly after the better known image of Kamehameha was completed in 1840) is by far the more elegant of the two. The artist (doubtless Kepohoni) has beautifully organized the composition and engraved the plate, modulating the dark and light areas by mean of stippling, an advance technique seldom used at the school and nowhere else with such attractive results. The plate is among the most beautiful of all Lahainaluna engravings, and is also considerable rarity. (Forbes 2012, pp. 125–126)"

"This second portrait engraved at Lahainaluna is a likeness of Kamamalu [Plate 34], the wife of Kamehameha III, and is one of the finest and most beautiful of all the engravings produced at the school. It is derived from one of two portraits of the queen done while she was visiting London in June 1824. Like the Kamehameha portrait, the London-made original of the Kamamalu portrait was sent to China, where it served as a model for the production of contemporary oil copies. There were commercially available, and, like the Kamehameha image, a few of the oil copies reached the Islands at an early date. The Kamamalu portrait is less elaborate than the more famous Hayter image (now in Iolani Palace, Honolulu), which depicts the chiefess in an elaborate, feather-ornamented coiffure, dressed in the most fashionable 1824 London style. The engraved plate gives us a bust portrait of a beautiful Hawaiian of rank and dignity, and all hints of the "caged exotic" are absent. The Hawaiian engraver has attained and displays a mastery of line and technique, and surfaces are carefully modulated by a sophisticated use of stippling. This was a technique only rarely used at the school, and never before in such a large plate or with much success. (Forbes 2012, p. 37)"
