The issue is that Liliuokalani is trying to sell the ownership
of Hawaii. I see that because the Hawaiian Queen is trying to sell a crown and
that the crown usually represent leadership over a country. The cartoonist
message is that Liliuokalani ownership is not worth anything because the U.S
had annexed the Hawaiian Islands and now that she has no control of it. I can
see this because the pawnbroker says that he would accepted it before it was
annexed by the U.S. but now he does not accept it because Liliuokalani lost
control of it. I think other people would suggest that the U.S has annexed most
of Hawaii and now that she can’t sell those islands. The author used labeling
and symbolism. I can tell this because part of her clothes has the word
“Liliuokalani” and also her crown represents leadership of the Hawaiian Islands.
