One of the unusual portions of the Hawaiiana at AAS is an assortment of more than thirty rare engravings produced by students at the Lahainaluna Seminary on the island of Maui. An intaglio press was introduced at this institution about 1834 and was used to provide students with instructions in the skills of copperplate engraving and printing. The students produced maps, views, portraits, and depictions of native floral.
