King of Hawaii, 1874–91. In February, 1874 Kalakaua was elected to the vacant throne by a legislature that had been convened for the purpose. Kalakaua almost single-handedly restored many of the nearly extinct cultural traditions of the Hawaiian people. These included myths and legends, and the hula, which had been forbidden by the missionaries for over 70 years. Vintage fountain pen signature, “Kalakaua K,” on an off-white 3 x 1.5 card. Card is affixed to a 5 x 8 sheet of stationery with a collector’s notation on reverse reading “Given to me by the King at the Revere House Boston, Jan 7th, 1875.” In fine condition.
