The Bride
6 of 7 prints remaining
In the 1940's Hawaii's tourist boom led rise to Hawaii being a destination for weddings. This piece showcased the fusion between Hawaiian cultural traditions were being incorporated into Western-style weddings, which added a unique flavor to the ceremonies.
The Bride captures a quiet, striking moment in Hawai‘i’s evolving identity that represents a moment where the mainland met the islands, and something uniquely beautiful came of it. The image is simple but unforgettable: a woman in an understated wedding dress, standing in the sun, holding up a freshly cut Monstera leaf for shade. The rich black backdrop draws your eye straight to that bold, bright green leaf—elegant and unpretentious, complementing both her beauty and the beauty of her surroundings.
If you look closely, a glint on her finger gives her away. She’s married now. And the flower tucked behind her left ear? That’s not just pretty—it’s a quiet announcement: she’s taken. A memorable moment where the mainland met the islands, and something uniquely beautiful came of it.

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.
