EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 1870s showcases a Hawaiian woman donning a traditional muu-muu, which was adapted from the Mother Hubbard dress introduced by missionaries. The image provides us with a glimpse into the fashion and costume of late 19th-century Hawaii. The woman stands confidently in her gown, exuding grace and elegance. Her attire reflects both native Hawaiian culture and the influence of Western missionaries who sought to promote modesty through their clothing choices. The muu-muu, with its loose-fitting design and vibrant patterns, is emblematic of Polynesian fashion. As we delve into this photograph, we are transported to an era when Pacific Islanders embraced their unique style while embracing outside influences. This portrait captures not only the beauty of this unidentified woman but also serves as a testament to cultural exchange during that time period. Granger Art on Demand has expertly preserved this historical gem for our enjoyment today. It reminds us of the rich heritage and diverse traditions that have shaped American history. Let this image transport you back in time as you appreciate the artistry behind this stunning Hawaiian dress from over a century ago.
