King Kamehameha V
Hawaiâi artist Mark Martel has infused classic black and white photos with vivid, royal color to show the Hawaiian Royalty in a fresh, Pop-Art style.
King Kamehameha V
1830-1872, reigned 1863-1872
âI will never sign the death warrant of my people.â Kamehameha V refused the sale of liquor to Hawaiians. He was the first king to revive the old ways of the kahunasâpriests. He pushed through a new constitution and vetoed limits on voting rights.
Mark Twain wrote, âHe was a wise sovereign; he had seen something of the world; he was educated & accomplished, & he tried hard to do well by his people, & succeeded. There was no trivial royal nonsense about him; He dressed plainly, poked about Honolulu, night or day, on his old horse, unattended; he was popular, greatly respected, and even beloved.â
