OTTOMAR ANTON (1895-1976) IN 2 DAYS ACROSS THE ATLANTIC. Circa 1936. 32 1/2x22 3/4 inches, 82 1/2x58 cm. Muhlmeister & Johler, Hamburg. Condition B+: horizontal fold; minor tears at edges; abrasions in image. Paper. Matted and framed. 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.
