VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for Wakefield Castrol Motor Oil, showcasing their product with futuristic imagery and text that reads "In the 21st century. " The illustration features an imaginative and towering structure resembling a skyscraper or air traffic control tower composed of stacked cylindrical shapes. A small airplane is depicted flying nearby, emphasizing the theme of aviation. The ad speculates about the size, shape, and design of future great air liners while highlighting the importance of lubrication to protect against friction. It confidently asserts that Castrol oil, considered supreme in its day, will remain vital for engines yet to be imagined even in distant times. Below the main image and text are branding elements including the Castrol logo and information about C. C. Wakefield & Co. , Ltd. , identifying it as an all-British firm specializing in lubrication based at Wakefield House, Cheapside, London.
