Reverse description A nude male figure strides dynamically to the right atop a billowing cloud formation, shielding his eyes as if gazing into the distance; the cloud resolves at the lower right into the head of an eagle. The date 1929 appears in the exergue, with the legend of the circumnavigation route surrounding the field.
