EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into a bygone era with this aviation poster from the early 20th century, showcasing the Portsmouth, Southsea & Isle of Wight Aviation Ltd's Spithead Air Ferry service. The image transports us back in time, with a sleek biplane soaring above the tranquil waters of Spithead, framed by the picturesque Southsea coastline and the Isle of Wight in the distance. The poster advertises the winter fare for a return journey, priced at a reasonable seven shillings and sixpence. Seven services run daily, ensuring frequent departures for travelers eager to make the crossing. The poster invites us to travel in "warmth and comfort," as both passengers and their luggage are promised a cozy journey. The elegance of air travel is contrasted with the traditional sailing boats and ships in the foreground, adding to the charm of this nostalgic scene. The poster's intricate design, featuring the Wessex crest and the promise of "services daily," underscores the reliability and sophistication of this aeronautical marvel. This evocative poster is a testament to the allure of early aviation and the spirit of innovation that characterized the era. The Royal Aeronautical Society's National Aerospace Library and Mary Evans Prints Online have graciously preserved this piece of history, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and engineering that defined the golden age of flight.
