MEDIA RELEASE
Salvaged from trash cans in 1964 and then stashed in archives for decades, a collection of glass plate photographs capturing life in the Kingdom of Hawaii from 1883-1905 has been resurrected in Na Pai Kii o Brother Bertram.
As the first Marianist principal of St. Louis College (now St. Louis School in Honolulu), German-born Brother Bertram Gabriel Bellinghausen left a legacy of education and service to the islands.Â
As a pioneering photographer with a particular interest in the makaainana or common people, his legacy includes nearly 2,000 images of the people and landscape of turn-of-the-century Hawaii. Â
This exhibition features a selection of photos of Hawaii Island. Â
