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!

019: The Pali - Vintage sepia-toned magazine photograph of the famous Pali (cliff) on Oahu, Hawaii. Ca. 1920. Caption reads: "The Pali, known around the world--In April, 1795, Kamehameha the Great, Napoleon of the Pacific, overthrew the forces of the King of Oahu at the battle of Nuuanu Pali. This historic spot, famed for its marvelous view and howling winds, is seen on the 85-mile drive from Honolulu around the Island of Oahu. The Pali is Oahu’s scenic lion."
020: 'Honolulu Broom Factory' - Vintage Hawaiian Product Label depicting a hula dancer with a broom. Ca. 1935. The origins of this charming label were vague and begged the question if this was a product sold only locally, or could it have appealed to Mainlanders for its exotic origins? Imagine, a Forties' housewife with curlers picturing herself with her 'hula broom' in a grass skirt and little else... While contemplating this notion, we suddenly happened upon a display of Honolulu Broom Factory brooms at a local drugstore. The Honolulu Broom Factory was founded in 1923, the logo designed in 1935, and the brooms are still being produced by hand in a small factory in Honolulu. Don't you love it when history comes alive?

025: This Forties 'Lei Maker' image by Gill has become synonymous with vintage Hawaiiana and we can't keep up with the demand. Gill was able to convey a sense of elegance and femininity that is unparalleled to this day, capturing the grace and beauty of the Hawaiian wahine, without ever having set foot in the islands.
026: Gill, ca. 1940's. This image by Gill, created in the 1940's, has over time become one of the great Hawaiian images, even though there's no proof Gill actually ever set foot in Hawaii. Ah, the stuff of legends!
027: Gill: Ukulele Player. Ca. 1940's. Classic Gill image of a relaxed Hawaiian male ukulele player surrounded by Hawaiian flora. This reclining ukulele player, created in the 1940's by the Californian artist Gill, has since become one of the most popular retro Hawaiian images.
