| Title | Map of Niihau |
| Reference | Map Drawer 1 |
| Library | Hawaiian Historical Society |
| Date | c. 1836 |
| Author / Creator | Kunui |
| Description | A hand-drawn map of the Hawaiian island of Niihau, made by Kunui, a student of Ursula Sophia Newell Emerson, a talented map copyist. The longitude and latitude lines have been transferred and firmly fixed by a series of pinpricks, but the map itself is a meticulous freehand copy. Why the compass rose and scale rule of Mrs Emerson's version do not appear is a mystery. Together with the David Malo map, this is probably the only such early student work by Hawaiians known to have survived. |
