The detailed illustration, part of a set of cigarette cards issued in 1936 by Lambert & Butler, showcases the beauty and innovation of early 20th-century aviation.
The "Scipio" glides gracefully through the sky, symbolizing the spirit of exploration and adventure that characterized this era. Against a backdrop of historic landmarks and bustling streets, this aircraft represents progress and connection between nations.
As one gazes upon this artwork, they are transported back to a time when air travel was still a marvel and Greece's capital city was a hub of culture and history. The colours pop off the page, bringing to life the excitement and wonder that must have accompanied those who witnessed such an impressive sight overhead.
This print serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of technology and transportation while also celebrating the timeless allure of destinations like Athens. It is a testament to human ingenuity and our endless quest for discovery.
