These very colorful and decorative maps showing the four main islands of Hawaii are drawn in a whimsical, humorous style much like Jo Mora's celebrated work of the same period. Cartoonish characters populate each with major roads and points of interest noted, which actually make them fairly useful maps for the tourist. Each has a ribbon title banner and a descriptive cartouche. Issued by the Hawaii Tourist Bureau. The maps of Maui and Hawaii were published in 1931 and printed by the Honolulu Star Bulletin. The Kauai and Oahu maps are later examples, published circa 1935. Blank versos.
