ANONYMOUS THERE ARE NO DISTANT LANDS / PAN AMERICAN AIRWAYS. Circa 1940. 48 1/2x26 3/4 inches. Condition B+: minor restoration in margins and pinholes in corners; repaired tears in margins and image. An exceptional and rare image from the height of the pre-War global aviation juggernaut that was Pan Am. A mighty clipper is shown soaring over a globe (positioned to highlight North America), while small icons of planes radiate off the central image to illustrate the number of flights to each of Pan Am's destinations. The poster has been dated by following Pan Am timetables from mid-1940, in which the New Zealand route is finally shown in operation (as opposed to just listed as "scheduled"). Airlines p. 12.
