Edward Steichen captures a fleeting moment aboard a Matson Lines ship as a lei-adorned woman stands on deck, mid-gesture, tossing a floral garland toward the departing sea, while the Matson “M” looms in the background. The image exudes both the ritual of farewell and a graceful choreography of form, epitomizing the romance of Hawaii travel. Commissioned by Matson for promotional use, “Lei Toss” visualizes the emotional overlay of travel and cultural symbolism. Its significance lies both in its aesthetic qualities and its function as a visual ambassador of the Hawaiian experience to mainland audiences.
