Descripción:

concertina-folded and printed on both sides (16 & 14 panels respectively), one side showing maps with printing in blue and red, Bawden illustrations to both sides, a couple of faint spots at one fold, 8vo, (175cm fully-extended), folded into original card wrappers with Theyre Lee-Elliott's 'Speedbird' design, tiny nick at foot of front and a touch of creasing to overhanging edges, very good. Among the finest of Bawden's commerical work, his decorations running along the head and tail of this advertising map for the commercial flight-operator between the wars; on one side providing city-views to accompany the airline's route-commentary, on the other illustrating its history of aviation - amongst the many charming details, the artist himself at bottom-right, looking skyward whilst signing his work.
