VISUAL DESCRIPTION
The image is a vintage advertisement featuring the theme "Pioneers of Modern Aviation. " It showcases an illustration of a propeller with wings, symbolizing flight, and prominently displays the headshot of an aviator wearing goggles and a helmet. The text below the illustration provides historical context about James Valentine, who obtained certificate No. 47 in January 1911 and participated in notable aviation events such as attempting to fly for the circuit of Europe in that same year and crossing the English Channel three times in two days. The ad highlights Shell's involvement in early aviation history, mentioning its role in establishing landing grounds and sites for petrol stations crucial to air travel at that time. It emphasizes Shell's contribution to modern aviation through products like Shell Aviation Petrol, Aeroshell Lubricating Oil, and Shell Aviation Service. At the bottom of the page is a slogan reinforcing brand reliability: "YOU CAN BE SURE OF SHELL, " indicating that this advertisement aims not only to celebrate historical achievements but also to promote Shell’s products associated with aviation fuel and services.
