Description
Matson Cruise Line Hawaii Menu Cover – Frank McIntosh Hawaiian Travel Art
This beautiful original Matson Cruise Line Hawaii menu cover features vibrant island imagery created by noted illustrator Frank McIntosh, whose artwork became closely associated with the golden age of luxury travel to Hawaii.
The colorful design depicts a graceful Hawaiian wahine wearing bright flowers in her hair and a traditional lei, peacefully preparing a fishing net. Nearby, another island figure stands with a spear while tropical fish and coral surround the scene. The rich colors and flowing shapes capture the relaxed beauty and culture of the Hawaiian Islands.
During the early and mid‑20th century, Matson Navigation Company operated luxury passenger liners traveling between the mainland United States and Hawaii. These voyages were known for their elegance and attention to detail, including beautifully illustrated menu covers created as keepsakes for passengers. Artists such as Frank McIntosh produced a small series of striking Hawaiian images that celebrated island life and culture.
Today, these Matson menu covers are highly collectible examples of Hawaiian travel art and ocean liner memorabilia, reflecting the glamour of early Pacific cruise travel.
This piece is presented in an acid‑free 16 x 20 inch archival mat to protect and preserve the artwork while making it ready for framing and display.
