![This sidewall print has an all-sky and cloudscape with two airplanes flying through. The pattern is repeated only twice, so the plane and cloud formation is identical halfway. The print has a realistic illustrative style but little contrast as it is duo-chrome light blue and cream, with mostly cream clouds filling up the sky and hints of light blue showing through in various gradients. The two planes are also drawn with little contrast, making them and their shadows almost blend into the clouds. The planes are angled diagonally flying away from below the viewer, with one wing across the top and propeller spinning in a circle on the front body. The two wings have American flags on either tip, while the side reads [Spirit of America.] On the tail are hints of numbers and letters indicating the plane's model, illegible. Below the plane is a half silhouette shadow.](https://images.collection.cooperhewitt.org/292520_49485201d296b934_n.jpg "Sidewall, The Lindbergh")
