VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement featuring the Hawker Audax aircraft, depicted in red over a green-tinted landscape. The biplane is shown in flight with its distinctive open cockpit and fixed landing gear. Below the aircraft, an aerial view of a stadium surrounded by roads and smaller buildings can be seen, suggesting the plane's capability to undertake reconnaissance missions or leisure flights over populated areas. The text on the image indicates that this particular model of Hawker Audax is "Doped with Cellon, " referring to a type of lacquer used at the time for finishing and protecting aircraft surfaces. The date "May 25, 1933" suggests when this illustration or advertisement might have been created or published. Additionally, there are reference numbers "No. 1734 Vol. XXIV No. XI" which could relate to either an issue number of a publication or cataloging within an archive. Overall, this image captures both the technological advancement of early aviation as well as historical marketing techniques used to promote aerospace materials and craft during that era.
