EDITORS COMMENTS
This poster, designed by The Royal Aeronautical Society in February 1935, invites audiences to witness the graphic story of Sir Hubert Wilkins and Sir Charles Kingsford Smith's record-breaking flight from England to Australia in under three days. The event took place at Queens Hall in London, with the Duke and Duchess of York graciously attending, presided over by Lord Wakefield. The poster's vibrant colors and bold lettering evoke the excitement and spirit of the era, with the red and blue hues representing the Union Jack and the Australian flag, respectively. The poster's central image showcases Scotts' aircraft, the "Grosvenor House," soaring through the sky, leaving a trail of smoke behind. The aeronautical marvel is framed by the box office and ticket prices, emphasizing the accessibility of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The text below the image reads, "C.W.A. Scott A.F.C. will tell his graphic story of the flight from England to Australia in under 3 days." The poster's design is reminiscent of the 1930s, with its art deco influences and streamlined typography. The poster's bottom left corner features the image of a ticket, further emphasizing the event's accessibility to the public. The poster's bottom right corner includes the text, "Royal Matinee, Price 1s. 6d," and "30s," signifying the affordable price and the decade in which the event took place. This poster is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the awe and wonder that surrounded aviation during the 1930s, as well as the role of royalty in promoting transportation and travel innovations.
