1. Retro Hawaii

Hawaiian Days Collection™ of Vintage Prints (Standard Quality)

The Hawaiian nostalgia images in this portfolio are based on the standard matting and framing proportions of 16"x20" and are printed on standard quality papers. If you desire archival quality Giclée on watercolor paper or canvas printing, plus a wider assortment of finishing styles, see our DeLuxe portfolio. 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. 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 that adds to their nostalgic charm. Today, we employ the latest in technology and materials to manufacture your print. Enjoy your trip through the days of Hawaii before jet-travel!

    176: 'Hawaiian' Pinup -- Calendar Illustration, ca 1946.
In the field of Hawaiiana there are always borderline cases where you're left wondering as to what extent the picture can be tied to Hawaii, so we closely study ethnicity, fauna, flora, currents, cloud formations, anything that can help pinpoint a date, a location, or the name of the maker. Not that it matters much. Hawaiiana is not about the real Hawaii, but about someone's perception of Hawaii, even if that includes elements such as the Greek-style village in the background of this picture... What's your idea of Hawaii?
