VISUAL DESCRIPTION
In this atmospheric advertisement from Handley Page Limited, we see another depiction of their Hermes aircraft line—specifically tailored for BOAC's Empire routes. It emphasizes being "the fastest British Airliner" at that time; however, what stands out is not just the plane itself but also how it carries news via newspapers delivered swiftly over long distances thanks to these advanced airplanes' capabilities. The imagery reinforces notions of progressiveness associated with air travel during this period—the ability to connect different parts of an empire rapidly was no small feat then—and positions Hermes as integral to achieving such feats.
