EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant colour lithograph captures a moment in history as the "Scipio" is refuelled in Alexandria Harbour, part of the Empire Air Routes network. The image, originally featured on a set of cigarette cards issued by Lambert & Butler in 1936, showcases the intricate process of refuelling an aircraft during the early twentieth century. The scene is bustling with activity as crew members work diligently to ensure that the "Scipio" is ready for its next flight. The bright colours and detailed depiction of the aircraft against the backdrop of Alexandria Harbour transport viewers back to a time when air travel was still a novelty and marvel. As one gazes at this print, they can almost hear the hum of engines and feel the excitement in the air as passengers prepare to embark on their journey across vast distances. It serves as a reminder of how far aviation has come since those early days, yet also highlights the timeless allure and wonder of flight. This piece from Bridgeman Images truly captures a moment frozen in time, offering viewers a glimpse into an era when air routes were expanding and connecting distant corners of the British Empire.
