VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement featuring an early biplane with a pilot and possibly a co-pilot or passenger seated in the open cockpit. The text identifies the pilot as Walter Brock on his return from Paris. It celebrates victories in various air races between cities such as London to Manchester, London to Brighton, and Paris to London, all achieved in 1914 using Wakefield Gnome-Castrol oil. The company C. C. Wakefield & Co. , located at Wakefield House, Cheapside, London E. C. , is advertised below the image of the aircraft. The style of the plane and attire of the individuals suggest this photo dates back to the early days of aviation when such feats were groundbreaking achievements and used for promotional purposes by companies involved in aviation technology or products like engine oils.
