“My daughter loves the map in her room. She looks at is a lot . She points to all the places she wants to travel to. The packaging was great. It was very safe with all the bubble wrap! The frame was what I picked out. It arrived when it was suppose to. Thank you Liz”

The Story Behind the Print
This striking Hawaii travel poster captures the golden age of American tourism promotion, when the islands transformed from a remote Pacific territory into the world's most coveted tropical destination. Created during the mid-20th century boom in commercial aviation, these vintage travel posters sold dreams of endless summer to mainland Americans discovering they could reach paradise in hours, not days.
The bold, stylized imagery reflects the confident graphic design of the era — clean lines, saturated colors, and romantic tropical imagery that promised escape from post-war urban life. Tourism bureaus and airlines commissioned artists to create these persuasive invitations, turning Hawaii into an accessible fantasy rather than a distant archipelago.
Printed on 325gsm museum-grade archival matte paper using giclée printing with archival inks, ensuring this vintage poster art maintains its vibrant appeal for generations.
Colors may vary slightly between screens and the finished piece — the print will always be richer.
About the Frame

Satin Black has a 7/8-inch face and adds 1.25 inches to the total width and height. Slimwood Silver and Slimwood Gold have a 1 1/8-inch face and add 1.75 inches to the total width and height.
The selected size refers to the artwork itself. Framed orders are custom made and ship within 7 to 10 business days, free in the U.S. See our shipping and return policies for framed piece details.

“Love my hometown Santa Monica map and I can’t wait to get it framed! Would have done it through Justin but due to Covid-19 he didn’t know when that would be. So I’ll just get it done myself. Can’t wait to hang it-know exactly where it will go! Justin was kind and answered my questions in a very timely manner. Thank you again!”
“So thrilled with my purchase! The map and frame turned out beautifully, and Justin was incredible to work with. He was communicative and helpful when I needed my item shipped as soon as possible/expedited. I even had to switch shipping addresses after my order was already processed, and they switched it with no problem. Will definitely be making another purchase from Archive! Thanks Justin!”
