Robert Wilson Andrews

Robert Wilson Andrews (June 8, 1837 – 1922) was a Hawaii-born artist and engineer.

His father Lorrin Andrews (1795–1868) was an early American missionary to Hawaii and a judge.

Prior to leaving Hawaii in 1859, Robert made a number of finely crafter landscape drawings including renderings of the sacrificial stone at Kolekole Pass, Iao Needle, Kapuʻuohoʻokamoa-Hāmākualoa Falls and Hanapēpē Falls.

[1] He studied engineering on the mainland at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and returned to Hawaii in 1863, where he worked as a sugar mill engineer for 30 years.

He remained involved with the church, and spent his retirement years teaching Sunday school.
