This print showcases the iconic Short S. 8 Calcutta aircraft, specifically the G-EBVG model known as "City of Alexandria" belonging to Imperial Airways. The image takes us back to the thrilling era between the wars in twentieth-century Europe. The monochrome aesthetic adds a touch of nostalgia, transporting us to the 1930s when aviation was rapidly evolving. The sleek design of the Short S. 8 Calcutta is beautifully captured, highlighting its significance as a symbol of technological progress during that time. The City of Alexandria stands proudly on the tarmac, ready for its next adventure across continents. Its presence evokes a sense of wonder and excitement about long-distance travel in an era before commercial airlines dominated our skies.
