Since the annexation of Hawaii in 1898 the islands have been promoted by travel agencies as the perfect vacation destination. Editorial issues, cruise line posters, brochures, and other travel industry publications soon competed for consumers with lavishly illustrated materials.

Those that did are sought after by collectors the world over as testimony to a period when traveling itself received romantic status. The increase in travel also marks one of America's most prolific chapters as it lead to innovative design in shipbuilding and later in airplane manufacturing. Those days, feeding the growing market of vacation travel with images was often left to art directors and illustrators with little first-hand knowledge of Hawaii.
