x61 cm. Muhlmeister &
Johler, Hamburg.
Condition B+ / B: restored losses, restoration and
overpainting in margins; repaired tears, restoration,
abrasions and minor foxing in image.
In addition to her Transatlantic runs, the Graf
Zeppelin also did sightseeing tours around
Europe. That she was run by the Hamburg-
America Line is reinforced here by the small
image of the ocean liner visible on the water.
Etbauer designed a number of posters for the
Hamburg-America Line. German version.

Condition B+: horizontal fold; minor tears at edges;

The
Hindenburg
, en route over the Atlantic
Ocean, is cleverly juxtaposed with an old clipper
ship on the sea below to emphasize the speed of
the new airship. Curiously, the Zeppelin (which,
by 1937, was being used as a propaganda tool as
well as a means of transportation) was known to
have two prominently painted swastikas on its
tailfins, but here only one is depicted. English
version. Airlines p. 37.
