VISUAL DESCRIPTION
The image is an early 20th-century advertisement from Piggott Brothers & Co Ltd., presenting themselves as builders of aeroplanes. The ad includes a detailed illustration of a biplane labeled "Piggott Bros No. 1," highlighting its impressive wingspan and weight specifications—demonstrating the technical focus prevalent during this pioneering period of aviation history. With text boasting about aluminum propellers tested to give "absolutely accurate thrust," it underscores the precision engineering required in aircraft manufacturing at that time. Located on Bishopsgate Street (without) in London, Piggott Brothers offered estimates for constructing aeroplanes to one's own designs—an indication of bespoke craftsmanship.
