THEODORE ETBAUER (1892-1975) ZEPPELIN-FAHRTEN. Circa 1930.
33 x 22 1/2 inches. Mühlmeister & Johler, Hamburg
Condition A: metal strips affixed to top and bottom edges. Paper.
Likely an image of the Graf Zeppelin, depicted here in a striking monochromatic style. In addition to her Transatlantic runs, the airship also did sightseeing tours around Europe. That she was run by the Hamburg-America Line is reinforced here by the small image of the ocean liner visible on the water.
