Vintage posters of early Hawaii travel advertisements. Obscure and well known artists have been interpreting and creating the feel and look of Hawaii since the early 1900s. Early advertising artwork was used primarily to entertain in shows that traveled the US mainland. These shows featured the mystique of island life, the Hula, and the raw natural wonders of erupting volcanos.
Landscape artwork, photos, magic lantern slides were the primary media used in these displays.
Later as cruise ships and Pan AM Clipper airplanes started their long runs to Hawaii, graphic art became a very important means for luring tourists to the paradise that is Hawaii.
The gallery has on display the artwork of Joseph Feher, John Kelly, Frank MacIntosh, Eugene Savage, Stan Galli, Louis Macouillard, Gene Pressler and many other unnamed artists. Also featured in many of these advertisements were beautiful models who became well-known icons
that represented the Aloha of Hawaii.
