In 1923,
Nord-Europa-Union
and
Trans-Europa-
Union
joined an affiliation of small airline
companies that were supported by the Junkers
Aircraft company in Germany. Combined, they
serviced the Baltics, Scandinavia and Northern
Europe. In 1926, the two companies were
merged with sixteen other airlines in the con-
sortium to become
Deutsche Lufthansa
. This
image also exists as a post card with a slight text
variation and was used on the cover of an airline
timetable. Pictured is the Junkers F1 3.

This aerodynamic ad for shoes takes its cue
from the great, streamlined travel posters of the
1930s, using the stylized imagery of the means
of transportation to advertise the sleek style of
the footwear.
