Summary
| Description |
English: The inked pencil sketches reproduced here are the work of Mrs. Gorham (Lydia R.) Nye, wife of a sea captain long and well known in Honolulu. She arrived on September 21, 1842 to await her husband, and went at once to live as a guest in the home of Capt. and Mrs. Charles Brewer. Capt. Nye joined her on March 14, 1843; they sailed together for the Northwest Coast and California on April 19, returning to Honolulu on November 30. Once again they were guests of the Brewers, where they stayed until about March 1, 1844, when they moved into a home of their own. Apparently the sketches were made near or after the completion of Our Lady of Peace Cathedral, which was opened and blessed on August 15, 1843
"View of Capt. Charles Brewer's house, Oahu" shows upper Fort Street, waikiki side. Off the picture to the left is the corner of Beretania and Fort. Mrs. Nye's caption: "looking at the house you will see the letter L—that is my chamber. That little carriage is Mrs. B's little boy—the native draging [sic] him in the garden [all of this is cut off in our reproduction]. Just below you see a native with his caalashes (calabashes) on his shoulder that is the way they carry their burdens—bring all their vegetables to market that way."
