Hawaii Recalls

Résumé du livre

"What does Hawaii mean to you? Diamond Head and Waikiki, hula girls and palm trees, surfers and sunsets ... Here is a nostalgic album of the words and pictures that created the familiar fantasy-image and convinced millions of people that the Hawaiian Islands were the most romantic spot on Earth. Assembled in this book are hunmdreds of ... examples of the promotion of Hawaii from 1910 up through the 1950s: the richly illustrated travel brochures, the fanciful Hollywood films, and even the garishly-tinted postcards and colorful fabric designs that have all been unsseen for decades."--Back cover.
