I just brought her home, and it is printed on velvet paper. Someone painted the bikini top, and framed her behind anti-glare glass.

The cardboard on the back used to have photos glued to it, they were all ripped off, but parts of one wedding photo remain, in bits of late 60s hair and beard. In pencil at the top someone wrote "HAWAII (then a number, I think 54 or 57) KONA"

Mine says "© Hawaii Arts Ltd. 56" on the front, under the signature.

I just removed the back, and there are no other markings. The print is attached to a thin fiberboard, then partially glued the the thicker back.

This is really cool and fascinating - thanks Mr Fury!
