VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement celebrating the achievement of Mrs. Beryl Markham, the first woman to fly solo non-stop across the North Atlantic from East to West. The image shows a stylized depiction of an airplane flying over turbulent ocean waves with a sun or moon partially visible on the horizon, suggesting either dawn or dusk. Bold text at the top proclaims her record-setting flight across the Atlantic Ocean. Below, it credits Mrs. Beryl Markham's success in part to her reliance on "Wakefield Patent Castrol XXL" oil for her PERCIVAL Vega Gull (powered by a de Havilland Gipsy engine), indicating that this advertisement was also promoting an aviation lubricant product associated with her historic journey.
