# Page Description This is an illustrated page from an early-20th-century pulp magazine featuring a black-and-white photograph of a dancer in a sequined Hawaiian-style costume performing the hula.

The text notes her grass skirt is authentically made from imported material from Tahiti, not synthetic fibers.
