VISUAL DESCRIPTION
The image is a vintage advertisement for Shell, highlighting their products' performance both on land and in the air. On the left side, titled "FIRST on Land, " it mentions an achievement dated April 28th, 1932, where Mr. G. Eyston broke a world record by traveling over 1, 000 miles at an average speed of over 100 mph using Shell Petrol and Motor Oil. The text emphasizes that this same high-quality oil is available to the public. On the right side, under "FIRST in the Air, " it celebrates every pioneer flight by Europe's premier aviator being powered by Shell Aviation Spirit—implying its superiority and reliability for aviation purposes. Both sections are adorned with decorative fonts and illustrations suggestive of their respective domains: racing flags and laurels for land achievements; clouds and birds symbolizing air travel. At the bottom center lies bold branding for "SHELL Motor Oil and Petrol" on one side and "SHELL Aviation Spirit" on the other, reinforcing Shell's presence in both automotive and aviation industries during that era.
