1. Retro Hawaii

Hawaiian Days Collection™ 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!

    092: Hawaiian Pinup Calendar Illustration. Ca. 1935. Nice sample of 30's Hawaiian pinups. The great American vintage pinup, often calendar pin-ups, preceded the classic hawaiian pinup, but hula girl ukulele later adorned many a WWII plane, as hulla girls like pinups hawaiian, became a famous vintage Hawaii illustration poster.

    093: Untitled Calendar Illustration. Ca. 1935.
How's this for a pinup? A lovely faux Hawaiian maiden plays her ukulele in the moonlight while the volcano betrays its dormant state with a faint moonlit smoke feather. Yes, everything's calm on the home front, although the ghostly image of a surfer seems to stretch his arms out in a gesture of warning. For tranquility's sake, let's assume that it's more in victory. Indeed, with a surf this calm it's a wonder he's standing up. Now you know why we love Hawaiiana: it's so disarmingly inconsequent.
