Original Matson Lines Hawaii "Festival of the Sea" artwork lithograph by artist Eugene Savage taken from the well-known Matson Cruise Line's original menus. It is featured in the original bamboo frame chosen for the artwork.
The art was used as a menu and also sold as prints on cardboard bought on ship or at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. No menu items are listed, and no date of sailing on the back of this print. It measures 21 1/2 in. x 12 in.
Eugene Savage was commissioned in 1938 to make a series of murals on Hawaiian themes for the Matson Navigation Company. "The Matson Murals" were completed in 1940 and were intended to be installed in the company's cruise ships. In 1948, lithographs based on these murals were used as menu covers on Matson's flagship, SS Lurline.
