June 1939
Color lithograph on paper
Height 12" Width 10 1/2" (30.5 x 26.7 cm)
Provenance: Paul Kahn, San Francisco, CA
This is the June 1939 cover of Travel magazine, illustrated with a standing surf rider guiding a longboard across a stylized wave beneath the publication's red masthead. The Art Deco composition and idealized surfer reflect how mainland magazines romanticized Hawaii and Pacific travel for American readers in the years before the war. Priced at thirty five cents when issued, it survives as a graphic record of prewar surf imagery in popular print.
