VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for "CELLON, " featuring bold typography and an illustration of a biplane. The ad proclaims "THE DOPE OF PROVED EFFICIENCY, " using the word 'dope' in its historical context related to a varnish or lacquer applied to fabric-covered aircraft. It emphasizes that Cellon products are widely used by practically every important aircraft firm in the country, suggesting their prominence and reliability within the aviation industry. The plane is depicted with the word "CELLON" on its wings, reinforcing brand recognition. Below it, stylized smoke trails form additional repetitions of the brand name, creating a visual effect of movement and impact. The text invites readers to visit Stand 23 at the International Aero Exhibition at Olympia, indicating where customers can learn more about these acclaimed products. The event took place from July 16-27th (year not visible), marking this as an early 20th-century piece when such exhibitions were key venues for industrial promotion. At the bottom left corner is a logo with initials S. G. A. C. , which might be associated with an aviation council or committee relevant to that era. On the right side, there's further information about Cerric Cellulose Lacquers complying with British D. T. D Specifications and details on how to contact CELLON LTD at Upper Ham Road, KINGSTON-ON-THAMES. Lastly, we see acknowledgment that CELLON works are contractors to H. M. Air Ministry ("Contractors to H. M. Air Ministry"), establishing their official capacity as suppliers for government aviation bodies.
