This brochure cover image was commissioned by Matson Navigation Company to promote travel to Hawaii in the early years of the 20th century. As an artifact of early travel marketing, it reveals Matson’s strategic investment in promoting Honolulu and Hilo as exotic, adventurous, and accessible. The surfing figure and wave imagery position Hawaii as a place of thrill and natural spectacle, aligning with early-20th-century ideals of travel as discovery.
