Tall coconut palms frame the only royal palace on American soil — Iolani Palace in Honolulu, Hawaii — in this vivid chrome-era postcard that captures the regal Florentine Renaissance structure bathed in tropical sun, its open verandas and ornate cornices rising above a sweeping green lawn dotted with 1960s automobiles. Built in 1882 for King Kalākaua and later the site of Queen Liliʻuokalani's imprisonment following the 1893 overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy, the palace served as the territorial and state capitol until 1969 and was restored as a museum in the 1970s. The card, published by Hakubundo Book Company of Honolulu and printed in Japan, is unused and retains bright color with only minor handling wear — a clean example of the classic Hawaiian souvenir card era.
