2. 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!

    141: Surf Rider HotelHonolulu Surf Rider Hotel brochure cover, ca 1950, showing a split-design with a stylized Surf Rider logo and below it a rendition of the for its day undoubtedly ultra modern hotel, but today appearing stiffly and uninviting as most concrete buildings do. However, as if to offset that notion, an outrigger canoe carrying happily paddling hotel guests comes by in the foreground. (PROOF watermark will not appear on your print)
    143: Luxury cruise liner national magazine advertisement, ca. 1957. These ships carried tens of thousands of visitors to and from Hawaii in the Thirties, Forties and Fifties but were ultimately put out of service with the advent of mass travel by air. It's said that when you approach Hawaii by sea long before you see land you can smell the fragrance of its flowers... Try that on a plane... (PROOF watermark will not appear on your print)
