Single sheet measuring 5¾ x 24 inches, with six folding panels, per side. Postally transmitted. Small tears and minor loss to envelope’s flap and abrasion to one panel where flap was affixed; light handling wear. A tourist item, functioning as both a means to communicate, and mail a brief message from Hawaii (in this case in 1909), and as a means to promote, in an heavily-illustrated manner, the wonders of Hawaii. One one side, across five panels, are seen images of Kilauea, Volcano House, a lava crack, scenes from The Pah, Pa-u Riders, the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, the Haleiwa Hotel, etc. On the other side, across five panels is seen a single panoramic view, printed from an original photography, of Waikiki Beach “Honolulu’s Celebrated Bathing Resort” showing buildings, boaters, swimmers and the inviting landscape. A small inset of text from the Hawaii Promotion Committee notes the advantageous military position of Hawaii, “...the most valuable possession of the United States.
