L'Atlantique

Scanned from a photogravure from 1934 based on the 4 January 1933 press photo
The French liner L'Atlantique burning off of the south coast of England
The photo was taken by a photographer from the Evening Standard at 3:00pm, the aircraft flew directly to London where the photo was processed and it appeared in the 5:00pm edition of the newspaper, two hours after the shot was taken
An Ilford Double-X Press plate was used


other sizes: small medium original auto

Amazing, a digital image to publication in a newspaper would not be much quicker.
