A Wright-style glider, a captive hot-air balloon and the aforementioned airship all float in an orange sky above Nancy's skyline, bathed in the deep red and delicate pink of the setting sun.

This six-month event obviously featured more than avionic attractions, but who could resist the thrill of a ride in the dirigible "Ville de Nancy," with its tremendous view, floating high above its namesake city. A Wright-style glider, a tethered hot-air balloon and the aforementioned dirigible all float through an oranging sky over the silhouetted Nancy, bathed in the deep red and delicate pink of the setting sun. Though the image area is identical in this version of the poster, the upper text remains in French while the entire lower-third of the design is now appears in English, spelling out an assortment of details for the anglophone including that the entire event is "Under the Official Patronage of the French Government."
