VISUAL DESCRIPTION
The image is a vintage advertisement featuring an illustration of the Earth with longitude and latitude lines, prominently displaying the continents. Above the globe, there's a stylized depiction of an airplane in flight. The text "Miss JEAN BATTEN" is at the top, indicating that this advertisement celebrates her achievement. Below her name, it reads "crosses the world in 5½ days, " highlighting her remarkable feat of circumnavigating the globe in such a short time period. At the bottom part of the image, additional text states "USING SHELL AVIATION PETROL IN HER PERCIVAL VEGA GULL (GIPSY VI), " which specifies both the type of fuel used—Shell Aviation Petrol—and identifies Miss Batten's aircraft as a Percival Vega Gull powered by a Gipsy VI engine. Lastly, there's a slogan at very bottom saying "YOU CAN BE SURE OF SHELL, " which serves to promote Shell as a reliable brand for aviation fuel while associating itself with Jean Batten’s record-setting journey. Overall, this image serves as both an homage to Jean Batten’s aviation accomplishment and an advertisement for Shell Aviation Petrol.
