Three of the plates contain vignettes of Hawaiian interesr. One plate has two views: the lower depicts a house near Honolulu; the uppet, titled "Ridande Qvinnor pa Tahiti," shows a group of natives riding horses. This in fact illustrates Hawaiians riding horses on the "plains," and in the background is a redrawn image of Punchbowl crater. It is adapted from a plate in Steen Anderson Bille's Reise der Corvette Galathea (Copenhagen, 1852l, Volume n, at page 198. The plate depicting a Hawaiian man in a red vest with a carrying pole has been adapted from a similar plate in the Skogman account of the Eugenie's voyage. The third plate of Hawaiian interest, "Konung en och Drottningen pa Hawaiiske Oarne," is a double portrait of King Kamehameha III and Queen Kalama. This is redrawn from a drawing by Paul Plum, originally published in Steen Anderson Bille's Reise der Corvette Galathea (Copenhagen, 1852l, Volume n, at page 214.
