VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for Shell Aviation Petrol, featuring an aviation achievement. The caption reads "GREAT SCOTT! ENGLAND TO AUSTRALIA in 8½ days using SHELL AVIATION PETROL. " Below the bold headline, additional text provides context: "Mr. C. W. A. Scott left Lympne on April 19th in his Gipsy II Moth, and arrived at Port Darwin on April 28th, thus beating the previous record by 5 hours. " This suggests that Mr. Scott set a new flight time record from England to Australia with the help of Shell Aviation Petrol. The graphic design includes an illustration of a globe flattened into an oval shape with airplanes flying overhead and various animals like kangaroos and ostriches around it, symbolizing the international journey from one continent to another. At the bottom of the image is a slogan assuring potential customers of Shell's reliability: "YOU CAN BE SURE OF SHELL". The overall design conveys excitement about aviation progress and promotes Shell's product as instrumental in achieving this feat.
