VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is an advertisement highlighting the achievements of Cirrus-Hermes Engineering Co. Ltd. , featuring two significant aviation successes: 1. World's Altitude Record: The image prominently showcases a Caproni Ca. 100 Touring Seaplane, equipped with a Cirrus-Hermes engine, which set a new world altitude record for light seaplanes in Category I by reaching 5, 324 meters (17, 462 feet), pending official confirmation. 2. Round Poland Flight: Below the main illustration are details of another accomplishment where two R. W. D. 4 airplanes completed a flight around Poland covering 240 miles at temperatures eight degrees below zero Celsius. Both aircraft were powered by Cirrus-Hermes engines; however, one was specifically fitted with the CIRRUS-HERMES II model. The advertisement also includes contact information for Cirrus-Hermes Engineering Co. Ltd. , located on Purley Way in Croydon, and notes that they are successors to the original Cirrus Aircraft Depot. The graphic style suggests it may be from an early-to-mid 20th century period when such feats were notable milestones in aviation history and advancements in aircraft engineering were celebrated and used as marketing tools to demonstrate reliability and performance capabilities.
