This promotional piece is attributed to Avalon Air Transport, which operated from Long Beach Municipal Airport, emphasizing the luxurious experience of flying on “AMPHIBIAN AIR-YACHTS.”. The brochure’s design incorporates a sophisticated typography typical of the period, enhancing its appeal as a collectible item.
A print code, “6322-755,” appears at the bottom left, which may contain a date component, possibly indicating July 1955, though this is speculative. The brochure is folded vertically, with minor wear and discoloration along the top edge and central crease, consistent with age and handling.
What stands out about the 100 Ivory Sheets is their even surface, making lettering feel smooth and steady.
The cover likely features a photographic illustration or graphic representation of the lenses themselves, though the primary visual impact derives from the interplay of text and negative space. The interior pages reveal the brochure’s original purpose as a sales and technical catalog for cinematographers and serious amateur filmmakers.
