Hungarian-born Feher studied art in Budapest, Italy and Germany before coming to America in 1928, where
he had a scholarship to study at the Art Institute of Chicago. He moved to Hawaii in 1947 and worked as a
designer for the Bishop Museum and taught at the Honolulu Academy of the Arts. One of his largest
commissions was with United Airlines, but his biggest passion was Hawaii, for whom he designed a new state
seal and a statehood commemorative stamp. This decorative map, filled with scenes of Hawaiian wild life and
culture, has a legend explaining all of the different images. It also comes with “suggestions for framing . . . if
you wish to keep the key and legend for reference, cut carefully along scored portion and paste on reverse side
of frame.”
