A photo album kept by a woman working as a clerk and living in Hawaii during World War II. The pages throughout the album include various Hawaiian illustration such as people on a canoe, beach scenes, and picking coconuts. Many of the photos show the young woman and her friends in smart dresses posed showing off new fashion and in group photos. She was also friendly with sailors stationed on the island some of whom are seen in photos of men posed in a backyard in uniforms. Two large photos show a group of sailors posed for a professional group photo. The Hawaiian landscape can be seen in the album as well with photos of palm trees, lakes, beaches, and military men in the forests. It appears the compiler had family in Arizona from a clipping about a traffic clerk on the final page of the album. A modest but nice collection of photographs depicting sailors and working women during World War II. Seller Inventory # 419646
