Early print of the harbor of Honolulu...
Item # 687884
April 19, 1851
THE SATURDAY EVENING POST, Philadelphia, April 19, 1851
* 19th century Honolulu Harbor illustration
The nice & quite detailed print at the top of the front page is captioned: "The Port Of Honolulu, In The Sandwich Islands", now known as Hawaii. There is a nice article on it as well beginning: "It is not many years since Honolulu was regarded as one of the Cannibal Islands, and missionaries were sent thither to tame the savage natures of its inhabitants & teach them the great truths of Christianity..." and much more.
This may well be one of the earliest prints of the port of Honolulu to appear in any periodical.
Four pages, large size, many tears at the central fold with some paper & text loss, tears at the margins, some small wear holes. Fortunately the print of Honolulu has a bit of rubbing but no loss, bug the text on Honolulu does suffer some text loss. Folder size noted is for the issue folded in half.
