This Matson Lines advertisement, featuring a color photo by Edward Steichen, celebrates Hawaii’s allure through the symbolism of the lei, a garland of flowers representing welcome, friendship, and beauty. Created at the height of Matson’s Golden Age of Pacific travel, the artwork reflects the company’s refined visual language that combined luxury, romance, and cultural imagery to entice travelers to the islands. In aligning tradition with tourism, Steichen’s photograph helped define mid-century visual expectations of the islands.
