VISUAL DESCRIPTION
The image is a black and white vintage advertisement featuring a scenic view of Dartmouth and Kingswear with an imposing castle overlooking the estuary. The text on the ad provides historical context, mentioning that King Rufus once embarked from this estuary to invest the castle of Mans; one hundred years later Coeur de Lion assembled his fleet of Crusaders here. It also notes that in 1585, Sir Walter Raleigh's ships named "Sunshine" and "Moonshine" sailed from this point for Chesapeake Bay. At the bottom right corner, there is an advert for 'Elektron' by The British Magnesium Company, which suggests that despite changes over time, some things like the granite hills remain unchanged. A slogan at the bottom declares "there'll always be an England, " indicating a sense of enduring national pride or identity. Below this picturesque scene is additional promotional content about Elektron metal with reference to its use in aircraft construction. There's also mention of a book titled "Technology of Magnesium and Its Alloys. " Overall, it appears to be an advertisement juxtaposing historical significance with contemporary (for its time) industrial progress while evoking a sense of timeless English heritage.
