Historian Brown and graphic artist Ellett have combed the archives to bring back to the light nostalgic images of the Hawaiian Islands between 1910 and 1950.

Hawaii beconed with images of hula girls and beach boys, ukuleles, flowers and fish, in an evocative richness rarely equaled in the history of regional graphic art.

Like all recollections, this tropical heaven where hula girls strummed their ukuleles under the moonlit palms, and "care and worry are taboo" was never real; it was the Hawaii version of "the good old days."

"Delights the eye with its colorful, well-paced presentation" - Winterthur Portfolio.
