Island Feast

Island Feast by Eugene Savage

It is estimated that over a quarter million Eugene Savage menu covers were distributed between 1948 and 1956. Commissioned by the Matson Navigation Company to create a series of murals in 1938, Eugene Savage completed the task in 1940. Due to the outbreak of World War II, his bold paintings lied in Matson’s basement until 1948. Afterwards, they were reproduced as menu covers for the S.S. Lurline. In 1951, Savage’s genius was honored in American Lithographs at the Smithsonian Institute. His beautiful menu covers are highly prized by collectors of Hawaiian ephemera.

What is a Mirrored Print & Gallery Wrap?

Canvas for Gallery Wrap

Take a good look at your print. The edges are mirrored, so that, the complete image is shown on the face of the frame once it is wrapped. In other words, You don’t lose any of the artwork. Our 2½” mirrored borders, allow your finished product to have a variety of thickness up to 2” deep. Therefore, make sure you choose an experienced framer who can make the frame to the exact specs of your custom print.

Hand-made Rattan Frames

Though the design has changed over the years, we commission these Rattan frames through a small family owned company in The Philippines. Your frame is the result of trial and error of the last 20 years! Rattan is a vine-like Palm that requires forest cover in order to thrive. Rattan grows throughout the jungle for over a quarter of a mile. Its trunk can span a diameter of over two inches down to the thickness of a human hair. The harvester’s collection process is performed by hand by a simple machete. Ultimately, the rattan vine cannot survive without the forest. Rattan quickly regenerates. As a result, this method of harvesting protects the destruction of the forest.
