About the Item
STEAM AIRLINER is an original wood engraving by the American artist Bernard Brussel-Smith, hand printed in black ink on cream color woven laid Whitechurch paper(watermark visible). STEAM AIRLINER depicts a wacky early flying machine comprised of multiple propellers, rudders, mast and fin-like structures, a smokestack in the center billowing cloud of steam as the crew of men in black top hats standby. STEAM AIRLINER is a wildly imaginative example of aviation history all meticulously engraved by the master woodcut artist - Bernard Brussel-Smith.
