Condition A-: expertly repaired tears in margins and image; pinholes.
In an image which combines clippers past travel on the oceans to their modern travel in the skies, a Pan American Clipper is soaring over a 19th century ship, projecting the idea of faultless service despite changing times and technological development. Depicted in dark greens and blues, the vast ocean also implies an obstacle easily met and conquered by a Pan Am Clipper.
