Metropix  > Retro Hawaii > Hawaiian Days Collectionâ„¢ of Vintage Prints (DeLuxe Quality)
The Hawaiian nostalgia images in this DeLuxe portfolio are based on the proportions of a 20"x28" poster. Contrasting favorably with our economy line of vintage Hawaiian posters these babies are printed using the highest quality watercolor art paper and canvas via archival Giclée technology, and can be ordered in several ready-to-hang finishes. Make sure to select "No Cropping" during checkout, or allow for minimal cropping to fit your chosen format, or if you're going to have your image matted anyway. Keep in mind that the originals these impressions were taken from are antiques, made and printed with methods and machinery vastly inferior by today's standards, but which nowadays adds to their nostalgic charm. Today, we employ the latest in technology and materials to manufacture your print. Be sure to explore the many options regarding sizes and finish, such as mounted on metal, or printed on canvas. Enjoy your trip through the days of Hawaii before jet-travel!

010: 'Princess Poo-Poo-Ly Has Plenty Pa-Pa-Ya' - Sheet Music Cover, from the Thirties. Ah, Princess Poopooly... Sounds like she got many a heart ticking faster at the thought of her papaya. While we've never heard Ms. Poopooly's song sung, we wouldn't be surprised if it was set to a score of double-entendres, in line with the premise of this whimsical sheet-music cover illustration.
011: 'Lovely Hula Hands' - Sheet Music Cover, ca. 1930. Ms. Aggie Auld, the hula dancer in the inset, was apparently a lady of great hula dancing talents whose merits reached heights where 'Hawaiian' songwriters would craft melodies to swoon along with. Nowadays, 'lovely hula hands' are advertised on the sports page in Honolulu, promoting a trade that has less to do with hula and more with skillful hands. Alas, we no longer live in the Thirties. Don't you long back to those days of innocence and true virtue?
012: 'Poi, My Boy, Will Make A Man of You,' based on Hawaiian music cover from ca. 1932, depicting various scenes that suggest that the eating of poi will somehow bring passionate hula dancers into one's life. We've tried it, but chalk this notion up to Hawaii island folklore.
013: 'Don't Give a Lei Without a Kiss' - Vintage Hawaiian Music Cover, ca. 1935, offers solid advice for first-time lei buyers.
014: 'When My Honolulu Lady Does The Honolulu Dip.' - Vintage Hawaiian sheet music cover from ca. 1926.
Words: Mannie Lowenstein, Music: Leonarde Yellman, Pallma Publishing Co., Minneapolis.
015: 'The Cockeyed Daughter Of The Cockeyed Mayor,' based on vintage Hawaiian music cover. Ca. 1930.
Words & Music: R. Alex Anderson
Artist: LaSalle
Published by: R. Alex Anderson, Honolulu.
016: 'Surfing Waikiki: The Duke.' - An old Bartlett woodblock print in Japanese hanga style with an image of the famous Waikiki surf and some great surfing by Hawaii's 'Ambassador of Aloha' Duke Kahanamoku aka "Da Duke" surfing on his longboard.
PROOF watermark will not appear on your print.
017: 'An Angel From The Islands,' originally a Hawaiian sheet music cover by LaSalle from ca. 1937, with a strikingly elegant and romantic composition in a blue and white color scheme.
