Bruehl's photo of a Hawaiian hula dancer presenting a symbol of welcome, a plumeria lei, conveys warmth, hospitality, and idyllic tropical appeal. The dancer’s pose, the lei, and the lush color palette all work to invite viewers into a romanticized vision of Hawaii. By 1938, Matson Lines was well established as a provider of passenger and cargo service between the U.S. mainland and Hawaii. Their advertising helped shape perceptions of Hawaii as a destination of leisure, exotic scenery, and cultural allure. Noted photographer Bruehl contributed many images and promotional works for travel advertising; his style often includes intense tropical lighting, saturated color, and idealized landscape or human elements.
