VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for the G. Q. Parachute Company, featuring an illustration of a parachutist in mid-air with his parachute deployed, accompanied by humorous and whimsical text. The caption reads "Hmm. . . I seem to have drifted. . . " suggesting that the parachutist has veered off course. The ad humorously claims that while their G. Q. Parachute won't guide you back to specific locations like Waitaki's languorous lassies or deliver you just in time for tea, it does offer a well-tailored flying suit which includes a 'too' efficient 'chute and K Type Dinghy should one approach deep waters. Below the main illustration are three additional images: two showing individuals wearing the parachute gear from different angles (front and side), and one showcasing only the harness system on its own. The bottom section of the ad features bold text stating "G. Q. Parachute" followed by smaller text highlighting "Suit, Harness and Parachutes Combined". It also provides information about where it's made: "Evolved and Manufactured in Great Britain by The 'G. Q. ' Parachute Co Ltd. , Stadium Works, Woking Surrey". Overall, this image captures both a sense of humor characteristic of period advertising as well as providing practical information about the product being advertised—the G. Q. parachute suit complete with harnesses designed for safety and efficiency during aerial descents.
