Glass plate with a front view of Iolani Palace in Honolulu. The building is two stories, with enclosed porches on each level. The wide road leading to the front of the building is lined with palm trees. There are a few men standing at the base of the front steps and two on top of the central tower. "'12" written in ms. in the lower right corner. One of forty-eight glass plate negatives originally housed together with a note by Latta reading "Frank Robinson Merced Area Misc. Unidentified." More than half of the images feature the World's Columbian Exposition, held in Chicago in 1893, or the California Midwinter International Exposition, held in San Francisco in 1894, hence the suggested date.
