HENRI OTT (1919-?) SWISSAIR. Circa 1952.
41 1/4x26 1/2 inches, 105x67 1/2 cm.
Condition B+: minor repaired tears at edges, some slightly affecting image; creases through lower right corner; abrasions in image.
A variant of this design with text overprinted in the tailfin was used several times in the late 1950s to promote Swissair exhibitions. This rare earlier version differs from the later printing in that it has the silhouette of an aircraft at the top and a solid line that cuts vertically through the tailfin.
