JUPP WIERTZ 2 DAYS TO EUROPE 1936. 32x22 inches. [Eschebach & Schaefer, Leipzig.] Condition B: trimmed to image; abrasions and creases in image; repaired tears and creases in margins. The Hindenburg Zeppelin (LZ-129) pictured soaring over the skyscrapers of Manhattan. A gap in the cloudy sky illuminates the spire of the Empire State Building, whose tower was originally conceived as a dirigible docking mast! This idea was eventually abandoned, however, when the winds proved too unpredictable at 1350 feet above the city. The Hindenburg's illustrious career was terminated on May 6, 1937 when she burst into flames upon landing in Lakehurst, New Jersey. This is the extremely rare English language variation (the poster is also known to exist in German and Italian).
