I think the painter is John Webber, however, we are more familiar with engraver, sculptor, "grapher" Charles Grignion's work.

If I remember right, Webber was the artist on Capt Cooks 3rd? voyage to hawaii....

Its an iconic image that many people have painted, engraved, silk-screened, etc

But all the ones I found and researched, none of them had the "keone of hawaii" printed above the mountain like this one does... except for the shirt.

I'm still thinking its either from the shirt or they made material bolts you could buy....
