Description
Titled Maui, Hawaii, and created in 1992, this illustrated map by Kim Forrest presents the island through a lively, highly detailed visual language that merges cartography with storytelling. Produced as an offset lithograph, the work is densely populated with topographical features, coastal activity, local landmarks, and vignettes of daily life, offering both geographic orientation and artistic interpretation.
Forrest’s approach reflects a broader late 20th-century tradition of pictorial maps designed for both visitors and collectors—works that move beyond strict cartographic accuracy to celebrate place through color, humor, and narrative richness. Maui is rendered here as an immersive environment, with layered visual detail encouraging close viewing and repeated discovery.
The poster fits comfortably within the collectible category of late-20th-century Hawaii travel and souvenir graphics, appealing to collectors of island ephemera, illustrated maps, and decorative cartographic works. Its combination of scale, color, and subject matter makes it particularly well-suited for display.
