Matson Line. Mokattam Temple No. 12. Aloha Luncheon Menu Cover

12x8.75", 2 pp. Artwork by Frank Macintosh of three Hawaiian women, 2 holding baskets of Hawaiian fruits, and one picking bananas. [Honolulu: Matson Lines]: c., 1937.

Frank Macintosh was commissioned by the Matson Line in the 1930's to make a series of menu covers promoting Hawaii as a destination. His work is reminiscent of Diego Rivera's and other Mexican muralists of the time, though his subject was Hawaiian women, flowers, fish, and other island specialties. His work is highly collectible as ocean liner memorabilia and as Hawaiiana.

This particular menu cover used Macintosh's artwork for an Aloha Luncheon for the Mokattam Temple No. 12 Daughters of the Nile, honoring Queen Marjorie Kessel. This is only the menu cover, without interior menu or rear blank. Minor insect damage to margins, not affecting image, else very good and bright.
