About the Item

Original vintage travel advertising poster - Speed and Comfort The World's largest Air Liners Imperial Airways The British Air Line - featuring great artwork showing smartly dressed passengers chatting on the airfield with a lady boarding the biplane airliner Hannibal with another plane visible in front of the Croydon Airport building in the distance, the plane's wings outstretched towards the viewer highlighted against a dramatic blue, purple and white sky with the bold red and yellow title text on the black border below.

The Handley Page four-engine H.P.42 aircraft Hannibal G-AAGX conducted its maiden flight in 1930 and provided luxury services for Imperial Airways until it was lost without trace in 1940 over the Gulf of Oman during a flight between Calcutta, Alexandria and London. Printed in England at the Baynard Press, London. Good condition, repaired tears, pinholes, minor staining, backed on linen.
