"Clipper at the Gate" Artist Proof

Aviation Art - This Willaim S. Phillips art print of a China Clipper airplane passing over the Golden Gate Bridge is simply spectacular! Phillips is a world-renowned aviation artist that has won numerous awards for his outstanding work. One of his many honors was given to him by the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. Due to the accuracy and artistic rendering of his work, he is one of the few artists ever asked to exhibit a one-man art show at the museum.

Phillips style is to portray some of aviation’s finest airplanes with a nostalgic landscape. Clipper at the Gate, exemplifies this characteristic style. From the Golden Age of Aviation, the print shows the Lockheed Martin Clipper. The China Clipper was the first to offer Pan Pacific passenger service from San Francisco to the Orient. The Clipper was also the largest flying boat ever built, weighing in at 26 tons. It had a cruise speed of 150 mph, with a range of 3,200 miles. Here, as the Clipper begins its long journey to the Orient, wisps of ocean fog are seen entering San Francisco Bay. Truly, a phenomenal art print commemorating Pan Pacific passenger service. This print is a treasure to grace any wall.

The print measures 23" x 16 7/8". Artist proof only.
