About the Artwork Style:
Advancements in printing technology during the late 1800s gave rise to a new artistic movement known as stone lithography. This innovation ushered in the “Golden Era” of poster design, flourishing between 1850 and 1930. What began as commercial advertising quickly evolved into a celebrated art form across Europe, laying the foundation for the mid-century modern poster aesthetic we admire today.
Although this style endured for over a century, Hawai‘i, still in its early stages of tourism, largely missed the wave of large-format stone lithography. In 1912, a group of women who would later form The Outdoor Circle advocated to protect the Islands’ natural beauty, ultimately convincing the state legislature to ban billboards. As a result, much of Hawai‘i’s vintage artwork from that era comes in the form of smaller pieces: magazine ads, luggage stickers, and matchbook covers.
