Hawaii. Department of Foreign Affairs

This was not a single individual author but a Hawaiian government department. Library and catalog records describe it as the office responsible for foreign affairs in the Hawaiian Kingdom and later the Republic of Hawaii, with the role of Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs first established in 1843 and the office ending when the Territory of Hawaii was organized in 1900.

Publications issued under this name include annual reports, diplomatic correspondence, and descriptive works about the islands. Those books were created for official purposes, but today they also serve as valuable historical sources on Hawaii's politics, economy, immigration rules, and international relationships in the late nineteenth century.

Because this is a government body rather than a person, there is no single author portrait to use as a profile image.
