More info about the portrait photo:
Dr. Gerrit Judd with Lot Kamehameha and Alexander Liholiho, 1850 l/4 plate daguerreotype courtesy of the Hawaii State Archives.
15-year-old heir to the throne of the Hawaiian Islands, Alexander Liholiho (Right) kept a detailed diary of his year of travel to the United States and Europe.
Accompanied by his older brother and their tutor, Protestant missionary and government minister Gerrit P. Judd, he arrived at the Genesee Falls on Tuesday, June 25, 1850, after a visit to Dr. Judd’s family in Detroit. An uncle of Dr. Judd, Orlando Hastings, lived in Rochester and was director of the Western House of Refuge reform school there. Daguerreotype portraits of the brothers with their teacher had been previously made in the prestigious Boston Studio of Southworth and Hawes. Although the teenaged
prince makes no mention in the diary of a portrait sitting in Rochester, the Whitney stamp on the brass mat framing the image is unmistakable.
Whitney intentionally posed the group in a pyramidical arrangement. Dr.Judd’s presence and gesture is an avuncular one. Besides his concerns for the princes’ education, he had lofty responsibilities as the “Special Commissioner and Plenipotentiary Extraordinaire” of the Hawaiian Islands. After Alscander’s (King Kamehameha IV) marriage in an Anglican ceremony in 1861, Dr. Judd Lamented on the behavior of his former charge:
“The King, educated by the Mission, most of all dislikes the Mission. Having been compelled to be good when a boy, he is determined not to be good as a man. Driven out to morning prayer meeting, monthly concert, Sabbath School, long sermons and daily exhortations, his heart is hardened to a degree unknown to the heathen...the picture is dark”
"Some sources that say he was educated at the Medical College in Fairfield, NY."
