Edward Steichen's striking color photograph of a Hawaiian woman standing amidst tropical foliage and a vivid bird‑of‑paradise bloom framing her face invites the viewer to consider the promise of a firsthand island experience. As a promotional image for Matson's passenger services to Hawaii, it blends the aesthetic of fine art photography with commercial travel advertising. Steichen was a prominent photographer whose work lent prestige to commercial imagery.
