This menu from the Hawaiian Village ( circa 1960's) incorporates an illustration inspired by a 1950's dinner menu from the America President Cruise ship line. This illustration is slightly different, with the lei around the wahine having different flower configurations, as well as the drawing style not being quite as refined as the original illustration ( Don Clever created the original illustration, as well as a whole series for the cruise line ).
