- "Between 1834 and 1844, a remarkable collection of copperplate engravings issued forth from Lahainaluna Seminary, a school on the island of Maui run by the Sandwich Islands Mission. Collectively, these engravings--views of the Hawaiian Islands, including towns and rural settlements; portraits; objects of natural history; and original maps and charts -- form one of the most important visual records of nineteenth-century Hawaii before the age of photography."--book jacket.
