As the Stars and Stripes rose over the palace, the Hawaiian national anthem was played for the last time and replaced by the Star-Spangled Banner. Four centuries of Polynesian independence and five years as a republic ended in that moment. Hawaii would not become a state until 1959. This illustration โ€” published less than a month after the ceremony โ€” is a primary document of one of the most significant and consequential events in Hawaiian and Pacific history.\n\n๐ŸŒบ FULL PAGE โ€” \"THE USHERING IN OF THE NEW REGIME IN HAWAII, AUGUST 12, 1898\"\nA companion full-page illustration of the broader ceremonies marking the beginning of American rule in Hawaii โ€” the military ceremonies, the gathered crowds, the officials of the new territorial government taking their places. Together with the flag-raising illustration, these two pages form a comprehensive primary visual document of the day Hawaii became American. A significant piece of Hawaiian history, Pacific history, and American expansionism โ€” and a meaningful piece for any collector of Hawaiian or Pacific Islander history.\n\nโ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”\nโ›ณ GOLF โ€” SEVEN PHOTOS\nโ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”\n\nโ›ณ SEVEN GOLF PHOTOGRAPHS\nSeven photographs documenting golf โ€” published at a pivotal moment in the sport's American history. Golf had been introduced to the United States only in the late 1880s, and by 1898 it was the fastest-growing sport among the American upper and middle classes. The United States Golf Association had been founded in 1894; the first U.S. Open was played in 1895; and by 1898 golf courses were spreading rapidly across the Northeast and Midwest. Seven photographs of golf in a single issue is an unusual and significant concentration of early American golf documentation โ€” a vivid and collectible piece of Gilded Age sporting history.\n\nโ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”\n๐ŸŽ–๏ธ THE 71ST NEW YORK โ€” HOMECOMING\nโ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”\n\n๐ŸŽ‰ FULL PAGE โ€” \"THE HOMECOMING OF THE 71ST ANNUAL NEW YORK VOLUNTEERS, AUGUST 29, 1898\"\nA full-page illustration of the triumphant return of the 71st New York Volunteer Infantry โ€” one of the most celebrated units of the Spanish-American War, who had fought at the Battle of San Juan Hill on July 1, 1898, and whose homecoming parade through New York City on August 29 drew enormous crowds. The 71st New York's role at San Juan Hill was the subject of some controversy โ€” Theodore Roosevelt claimed they had faltered under fire, while the regiment's veterans disputed this vigorously โ€” making their homecoming politically as well as emotionally charged.

Rogers depicting daily life at Camp Wikoff โ€” the quarantine and demobilization camp at Montauk Point, Long Island, where 25,000 soldiers returning from Cuba were processed, many of them suffering from yellow fever, malaria, typhoid, and dysentery. Rogers's centerfold captures the human texture of camp life โ€” the tents, the routines, the men โ€” in a comprehensive and very frameable composition.\n\n๐Ÿ•๏ธ FULL PAGE โ€” \"MONTAUK POINT โ€” VISITORS IN CAMP\"\nA full-page illustration of civilian visitors at Camp Wikoff โ€” family members and curious New Yorkers who traveled to Montauk to see the returning soldiers.
