EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "Miss America Arrives: A Flying Visit to the Bird-Men," was published in a magazine in April 1918 as part of the advertising campaign for De Reszke American Cigarettes. The image showcases the brand's mascot, Miss America, making a surprise appearance among a group of military aviation specialists, affectionately referred to as the "Bird-Men." Miss America, dressed in her iconic red, white, and blue attire, gracefully descends from the clouds, her flowing gown billowing in the wind. She extends a welcoming hand to the aviators below, who eagerly await her arrival. The scene is filled with a sense of excitement and anticipation, as the aviation pioneers marvel at the beauty and elegance of their unexpected guest. The illustration, which is rich in color and detail, captures the spirit of the era, as the United States was heavily involved in World War I and the aviation industry was rapidly advancing. The image serves as a testament to the fascination and admiration the public held for both the aviation pioneers and the symbol of American pride, Miss America. The illustration is part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, and provides a unique glimpse into the cultural and historical context of the early 20th century. It is a captivating piece of art that continues to intrigue and inspire, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of aviation and American pride.
