Title
p. 39, A Party at the King's boathouse, Honolulu
Description
King Kalakaua sits in a grand upholstered chair talking to a group of men including Robert Louis Stevenson. Lloyd Osbourne can be seen seated at the far right and is beside three other western men, who all have moustaches and garlands round their necks. A group of Hawaiian men stand behind them who may be musicians as one is holding a ukulele. On the table in front of them is a large flagon, a decanter and glasses.

The image is from the photograph album entitled 'The Cruise of the Casco' of Robert Louis Stevenson's travels around Hawaii and French Polynesia in 1888.
