- Scope and content:
-
Album contains 58 black-and-white gelatin silver photographs. The album is undated; however, library staff determined that the photographs probably date from around 1916-1917, mostly likely from fall of 1917. Bowers was elected in May, 1916. The photographs include one of Governor Pinkham of Hawaii who left office in June, 1918. The Hawaiian Annual reported Congressional visits in May 1915 and autumn 1917, but not in 1916.
The delegation's visit in 1917 coincided with the death of Queen Liliuokalani on Nov. 11, 1917 and her funeral. This album includes a photograph of the Queen lying in state.
Copies of the entries from the Hawaiian Annual are filed with the album.
