Does anyone else remember a post card artists impression of a Lloyd International D.C.-8 srs 63?

I recall an artist impression in Flight but the archive is closed.
From Flight International in 1969
Its present fleet of two Britannia 312s are leased from Lloyd International Airways (Hong Kong) Ltd, and it has also a DC-4 which is sub-leased to another carrier. The Hong Kong company has on order two DC-8-63Fs which will be leased to Lloyd International on delivery (August 1968 and May 1969 respectively). The two Britannia's are maintained by Aviation Traders (Engineering) Ltd under a contract effective until 1972.
its 1968 transatlantic passenger charter operations of 70 one-way revenue flights,using three Britannias, will produce passenger revenue of$738,200, and a net operating profit of $108,032. In 1969, with 110 one-way revenue flights, the relative figures would be $1,168,000 and $177,736. It is proposed to operate also one DC-8 in 105 one-way revenue flights in 1969; passenger revenue from this operation would be $2,371,400, and net operating profit $595,554. The total revenue from four proposed one-way cargo charter flights is estimated at $35,000. Charter operations on the limited scale requested would be useful in filling ferry legs arising from transatlantic charter operations.
But Lloyd was refused a British licence to operate these services. Base is London (Stansted) Airport.
Lloyd went on to acquire 3 707's from 1970.
