In this luminous advertisement for Matson Lines, Edward Steichen’s photo captures a Hawaiian woman floating through calm ocean waters. The scene, both playful and serene, conveys the effortless grace and leisure promised by Matson’s voyages to the islands. Blending fine art sensibility with commercial purpose, Steichen translated the romance of Hawaii into a visual language of poise and calm that defined Matson’s advertising imagery of the era.
