EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Skyward Sojourners: The Unusual Two-Sided Zeppelin Airship Promotional Card of the USS Akron and the Texaco Star" This two-sided print showcases the majestic Zeppelin airship in two distinct cover designs, each depicting a unique perspective of this engineering marvel from the 20th century. On one side, the USS Akron, a rigid airship of the United States Navy, is featured flying gracefully over the iconic New York City skyline, with the Texaco Star, a prominent advertising blimp, following closely behind. The other side showcases the cover of the "Chronology of Aviation 1912," with the Zeppelin airship illustrated in flight against a backdrop of verdant grasslands and a clear blue sky. The USS Akron, commissioned in 1931, was the largest airship ever built by the U.S. Navy, with a length of 785 feet and a capacity to carry 72 passengers. This side of the print highlights the airship's impressive size and capabilities, as it casts a long, imposing shadow over the cityscape of New York, while the Texaco Star, with its distinctive star logo, adds a sense of commercial aviation progress. The reverse side of the print offers a contrasting image, featuring the Zeppelin airship in a more serene setting, flying above a lush, green landscape. This cover design is from the "Chronology of Aviation 1912," which underscores the historical significance of these airships and their role in the development of air travel and transportation. This intriguing and rare print offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the grandeur and innovation of the Zeppelin airship era, a time when humans dared to defy gravity and explore the limitless skies.
