001: Frank Macintosh: 'Fruit Harvest'. - This Frank Macintosh Hawaii cruise ship menu cover from ca. 1940 belongs to a series of menus he designed which were used on navigational routes between the US mainland and Hawaii.

002: Frank Macintosh: 'Luau' - Hawaiian Cruise Line steam ship menu. Ca. 1940. Without a doubt one of Frank Macintosh's best crafted images featuring a Hawaiian luau attended by beautiful Hawaiian people and kailua pig.

003: Frank Macintosh: 'Lei Vendor' - Vintage Hawaii cruise ship menu art. Macintosh's lei vendor appears to be carried around on a float that also features three hula dancers and an ornamental display of Hawaiian flowers. This image captures part of the magic of Hawaii so well that it is just as populair today as it was in the Forties when it was first released.

004: Frank Macintosh: 'Aloha Ukulele.' - You may have seen this retro art deco Ocean Navigation Company steam ship menu from ca. 1940 before as it is arguably one of Frank Macintosh's most popular designs, combining a ukulele, a flower lei, Hawaiian fruits and flowers into a romantic display that screams 'tropical Hawaiian paradise!'

005: Frank Macintosh: 'Angel Fish' - Another strong Macintosh illustration for a Ocean Navigation Company passenger ship menu from ca. 1940. Widely collected as keepsakes (each menu was printed on the day of its issue with the ship's name, date, and menu), these Hawaii passenger memorabilia menus have become rare finds as originals representing an entire voyage.

006: Frank Macintosh: 'Night-blooming Cereus' - Hawaiian cruise liner menu design from ca. 1940, as used on the SS Lurline, the SS Ocean Navigation Companyia, the SS Monterey, or the SS Mariposa. Another radiant illustration from the artist most associated with Hawaiiana, Frank Macintosh.

007: "Looking Toward Mauna Kea From Waiakea in Hawaii" - Painting for Paradise of the Pacific Magazine cover, 1928.

008: "Hawaiian Magic" - Vintage Hawaiian sheet music cover. Ca. 1946. Several times during the first half of the last century Hawaiian-style music was all the rage. Certainly, little has changed, as guitar-strumming men still sing the praise of the Hawaiian 'wahine!'

009: 'I Had To Lova and Leava on the Lava' - Hawaiian sheet music cover from ca. 1936. Leave it to the fadmasters of the Thirties to come up with 'catchy' titles to win over buyers of 78 rpm 'Hawaiian' records. LaSalle's cover illustration today is of greater interest to us, showing an alluring Hawaiian beauty with stylized hair and an inset of the Lova Leava Lava crooner.

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.

018: 'Siren of a Southern Sea' - Vintage Hawaiian sheet music cover. Ca 1919. Words & Music: Abe Brashen & Harold Weeks The Melody Shop, Seattle

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?

021: 'Moonlight - Hawaii and You' - Cover of Sheet Music Song Book, published by Aloha Publishing Co., Honolulu, ca 1922. Words: William G. Chalmers Music: Bert Carlson Artist: William Gillies.

022: United Airlines Poster, Ca 1955. - This United Airlines Hawaii poster captures everything Hawaii is all about and appears as relevant today as it was back in the Fifties.

023: 'They're Wearing 'Em Higher in Hawaii' - Sheet Music Cover. Ca. 1916. Words: Joe Goodwin Music: Halsey K. Mohr Artist: Andre C. de Takacs Publisher: Shapiro, Bernstein, New York .

024: A Little Rendezvous In Honolulu - Vintage sheet music cover for a no doubt lovely tune that lovers can watch the moon over the pacific by...

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. PROOF watermark will not appear on your print.

028: 'Hawaiian Fisherman (or 'Hawaiian Net Fisher')' by Gill, created as a diptych during the early 1940's. The art of the never fully identified artist Gill reflects a time period of Hawaiiana during which several artists began employing a method of air brushed stenciling. Through layering complex textures were achieved. Unfortunately, as WWII enfolded, artist materials became of lesser quality and consequently few originals have been preserved. With his stylized renditions of Hawaiian figures this native of San Francisco charms today's viewer as much as those during his heydays!

029: 'Surfing Waikiki,' from a Bartlett Woodblock print. ca 1930's, showing Waikiki surfers in action on their classic longboards in the first half of the last century against the backdrop of a Pacific sunset. Hawaiian Days is the premier publisher of vintage Hawaiian surfing prints and surf posters, such as 'Surfing Waikiki.' Please, note that the PROOF watermark will not appear on your print.

030: 'Woman with Fish' by Gill. Print based on airbrush paining from the early Forties. In spite of its unassuming title (it's also known as 'Wahine With Basket of Fish) this painting has become one of the most famous and popular images produced by Hawaiiana artist Gill.

031: Hawaiiana artist Gill's airbrush painting, titled 'Hawaiian Drummer,' from the early 1940's. Unfortunately, as WWII enfolded, artist materials became of lesser quality and consequently few originals have been preserved. Yet, today Gill’s work is regarded the most recognizable of the period. With his stylized renditions of Hawaiian figures this native of San Francisco still charms us today.

032: Hawaiian Hula Dancer by Gill from ca. 1940's. Gill captured the grace and beauty of the Hawaiian wahine. Today Gill’s work is regarded the most recognizable of the period.

033: Gill airbrush painting of 'Bathing Beauties,' from the Forties. The art of Hawaiiana artist Gill reflects a time period during WWII when artist materials became of lesser quality and consequently few originals have been preserved. Gill was able to convey a sense of elegance and femininity of the Hawaiian lady with his stylized renditions. PROOF watermark will not appear on your print.

034: Hula Dancer by Gill from the 1940's. The art of the never fully identified artist Gill reflects a time period of Hawaiiana during which several artists began employing a method of airbrushed stenciling. Through layering complex textures Gill was able to capture the grace and beauty of the Hawaiian wahine. This early airbrush painting helped establish the artist Gill (also known as the artist Gil, or Eric Gill) as a prominent Hawaiian airbrush artist.

035: Vintage Hula Dancers Postcard, ca. 1915. Charming picture of vintage hula girls from the days of hand-colored postcards and photographs. No doubt these girls and their mothers made many a sailor decide to jump ship and start a grass shack of his own. That's what's so great about Hawaiiana: there's a story in every picture. His story. Her story. Their story. Our story. They're all about falling in love and finding a spot to make your bed. Why not make these girls immortal with a place in your bedroom, den, or guest room? (The watermark "PROOF" will not appear on the print)

036: Vintage Hawaiian Airlines Logo, ca. 1948. This vintage Hawaii airline poster was created from a Hawaiian Airlines label, and features a DC-3 flying over a windy Hawaiian island coast with a sailing outrigger canoe in the foreground.

037: Mid Pacific Carnival Festival Poster -- 1910

038: Mid Pacific Carnival Festival Poster from 1911. We see it as our duty to point out to you that the wahine in the picture is bare-breasted. No doubt, the artist must have regretted that modern times (and the missionaries) had introduced less revealing dress to the islands of paradise and got this lady into what looks more like ancient Greek apparel. A prime example of Hawaiiana.

039: Mid Pacific Carnival Festival Poster from 1913.

040: Mid Pacific Carnival Festival Poster, --1914. Arguably one of the most popular of retro Hawaiian posters or prints, Duke Kahanamoku pictured riding his signature koa wood longboard in the relaxed manner of the champion that he was.

042: 'Looking Toward Mauna Kea From Waiakea in Hawaii' - Paradise of the Pacific Cover, November 1928.

045: Solar Brand - Pineapple Can Label. Ca 1940's, showing the entire wrapping label for Solar Brand Broken Slices Pineapple with an interesting image of a sun and earth lineup complete with space clouds and lots of solar flares—vintage science at its best and no doubt creating ideal circumstances for Hawaiian pineapple growth, as evidenced by the big juicy pineapple picture. These types of vintage Hawaiian pineapple prints and posters make great additions for any kitchen or dining area with or without a Hawaiian or tropical island theme. Sure to invoke shouts for a certain kind of desert. PROOF watermark will not appear on your print.
