A Short Empire flying boat soars above Manhattan's towers, rendered in Albert Brenet's bold Art Deco style for Imperial Airways' 1937 expansion campaign.

The aircraft bears registration G-ADHL, marking it as Canopus, the first of 28 Empire flying boats that revolutionised long-distance travel. Brenet designed this poster when Imperial Airways was pioneering transatlantic routes, connecting London to New York in an era when air travel was luxury adventure.

Brenet's composition depicts the optimism of 1930s aviation: the silver hull gleaming against azure sky, Manhattan's Art Deco spires rising to meet the aircraft. The Empire flying boats offered sleeping berths and dining lounges, transforming intercontinental journey into grand experience.

Produced as an archival print on 200gsm Enhanced Matte Fine Art Paper using museum-quality pigment inks.
