OTTOMAR ANTON (1895-1976 TO EUROPE BY ZEPPELIN. 1936. 32x23 1/2 inches, 81x59 1/2 cm. [Muhlmeister & Johler, Hamburg.] Condition B+: expertly recreated top and bottom margins; wrinkles and creases in margins and image; expertly replaced bottom margin. The Graf Zeppelin, sister ship of the ill-fated Hindenburg, is depicted here from a perspective that has her practically stretching across the Atlantic Ocean. After several widely publicized voyages (including around the world in 1929, which made her the first airship to ever cross the Pacific Ocean non-stop), the Graf Zeppelin settled into a regular transatlantic route by 1930. When she was taken out of service in 1937, barely a month after the Hindenburg disaster, she had made a total of 143 Atlantic crossings. A separate variation shows the route map with stops in Spain, while this copy illustrates connections to Hamburg and Berlin. English version. Airlines p. 36.
