Today I am posting what has been defined as "pre-tiki" or early Hawaiiana paper for the most part, as well as a couple of later paper items...
This is an early Matson/Oceanic Lines Travel Brochure from 1936.
Front cover.
Back cover.
First unfold.
Second unfold.
Third unfold.
By the time this is unfolded for the fourth time, it is gigantic!
