VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage black and white advertisement promoting the excitement and investment value of collecting air post, or airmail. The ad features bold text that reads "There's a Thrill. . . . . . and an Investment In Air Post Collecting!" It suggests that for just a few shillings, enthusiasts can own messages sent by air from historic events such as wars or carried by famous flights like the Zeppelin. There are references to significant figures in aviation history such as Col. Lindbergh, Sir Alan Cobham, Sir Kingsford Smith, and other famous aviators. The image within the ad shows various elements associated with philately (stamp collecting) and aviation: an airplane flying overhead dropping mail; stamps labeled "RARITIES" being magnified; envelopes marked with different postal marks; and what appears to be an album page for mounting stamps. At the bottom of the advertisement is the name of the company offering these collectibles: Francis J. Field, Ltd. , located in Sutton Coldfield, which claims to be "Second to None for Air Posts. "
