EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print titled "Wings Over The Empire: Cape Town, South Africa" transports us back to the 1930s when aviation was a symbol of progress and adventure. The colour lithograph showcases a birds-eye view of the beautiful city of Cape Town, with its iconic Table Mountain in the background.
The image is part of a series of cigarette cards on the theme of Wings Over The Empire, issued by Churchman in 1939. It is clear that the artist drew inspiration from contemporary photographs to create this stunning depiction of Cape Town from above.
As we gaze at this artwork, we can almost imagine ourselves soaring through the skies over South Africa, taking in the sights and sounds of this bustling city below. The vivid colours and intricate details bring to life a time when air travel was still a novelty and held an air of excitement and wonder.
This print serves as a reminder not only of how far we have come in terms of technology and transportation but also as a tribute to the beauty and majesty of Cape Town, one of Africa's most beloved cities. It captures a moment frozen in time, inviting us to dream big and reach for new heights just like those early aviators did so many years ago.
