Wash and pen on paper
Height 19 3/4" Width 15" (50.2 x 38.1 cm)
Artist unknown
Provenance: Doc Beyers, Hilo
This is an original wash and pen advertising illustration for Dole, headed A New Pineapple Treat, prepared as artwork for a print campaign in the 1930s. The composition sets ruled placeholder lines for the ad copy against a large decorative panel of a Hawaiian woman reclining beside a wave and tropical foliage, rendered in soft grey wash with touches of red. As original commercial artwork rather than a printed sheet, it documents the hand illustration stage behind Dole's use of Island imagery to sell pineapple to mainland consumers.
