New enough, long enough, neutral, hook referenced. Some might object to the no. of pics, slide-shows etc, but not me. Earwig 53%, but only finds quotes and "the President of the United States". All the refs for the hook say Kalakaua had the first "state dinner", but I suppose it isn't a state visit

What you say is obviously true, but none the less I think the hook reads more naturally as it is, and avoids a sort of mental booby-trap where people might think "What about the President?". You will see the media is currently full of "redundant" "foreigns" re the change of president.

They might be confused for half a moment, however intelligent. A lot of editors do overestimate the intelligence, or age, of many of our readers.

On reflection, the caption would be better re-arranged to: "Kalakaua of Hawaii is received by Ulysses Grant during his 1874 state visit".

I think we should omit the word "foreign" because it is redundant. See the definition of a state visit in the article.

Really? People would wonder if the US presidents visited the US? I must be overeestimating our readers' intelligence.

The hook uses the word "state" three times which seems excessive.
