In 1931, the well-known map illustrator,
Ruth Taylor White, visited the Hawaiian Islands and was inspired to produce a series of decorative maps. They were
issued by the Honolulu Star Bulletin and given away by the Hawaii Tourist Bureau.
Extremely colorful and whimsical in tone, her
maps served as an inspiration for the beautiful Giclée reproductions offered here.
Ruth Taylor White was quite prolific; she published
hundreds of "cartographs" of the various states and published them in a now very scarce book entitled Gay Geography.
