Graf Zeppelin EPW038817
The Graf Zeppelin moored at Hanworth Aerodrome, London Air Park in July 1932. This was her third and final visit to the UK after a flight over London in 1930 and a 24-hour round-Britain passenger tour in August 1931. Once again she took a passenger tour around Britain in 24 hours before returning to Hanworth. Dr Hugo Eckener, the head of the Zeppelin passenger company, took personal charge of the Graf Zeppelin on several record breaking flights as well as using it as a public relations tool and an attraction drawing large crowds.

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the majestic airship Graf Zeppelin graces Hanworth Aerodrome in London's Air Park during her third and final visit to the United Kingdom in July 1932. Previously, she had flown over London in 1930 and completed a 24-hour round-Britain passenger tour in August 1931. Once again, the Graf Zeppelin embarked on a 24-hour tour around the country before making her way back to Hanworth. The Graf Zeppelin, an engineering marvel of its time, was a rigid airship with an impressive length of 774.8 feet and a maximum capacity of carrying up to 24 passengers and 52 crew members. This colossal aerostat, with its distinctive streamlined shape and elegant design, was a sight to behold. Dr Hugo Eckener, the visionary head of the Zeppelin passenger company, personally oversaw several record-breaking flights aboard the Graf Zeppelin. He utilized the airship not only for its groundbreaking aviation achievements but also as a powerful public relations tool and an irresistible attraction, drawing massive crowds. This photograph, taken from an aerial perspective by Aerofilms, captures the Graf Zeppelin's grandeur as she sits serenely at Hanworth Aerodrome. The image offers a unique perspective of this iconic airship, which continues to captivate the imagination of aviation enthusiasts and history buffs alike. For more information about Aerofilms and their extensive collection of aerial photographs, please visit the Historic England website.
