The Royal Standard of King David Kalakaua - archived

Posted by HALE O KEAWE-A-HEULU aka: NAIHE on January 18, 2009 at 4:53pm

An original Kalākaua royal standard dating from 1881 is preserved at the Hawai‘i State Archives. The standard was unfurled once in the 1960s to assess its condition and to be photographed. Measuring 20x30 feet, the standard had to be suspended from the balcony of I'olani Palace to be opened completely. Due to its age and condition, it is now kept under conservation conditions and cannot be displayed.
