VISUAL DESCRIPTION
The image is a black and white advertisement featuring an early 20th-century aircraft with individuals gathered around it. The text at the top reads "Malta & back in 26hrs. 25 mins. " Below this, a caption states "Captain Barnard refueling with Pratts Aviation Spirit at Malta, prior to his return. " In the center of the ad is a quote: "'The engine ran perfectly'". This testimonial is attributed to Captain C. D. Barnard, who writes about using Pratts Aviation Spirit on his flights to Malta and back in two days without any issues regarding the engine performance or obtaining fuel in Malta. At the bottom of the advertisement, there's another bold statement "ON AVIATION PRATTS SEALED, " emphasizing that Pratt's product was used for aviation purposes. Lastly, information about The Anglo-American Oil Company Ltd. , which provided Pratts products, is given along with their address in London. This advertisement likely dates from the early decades of commercial aviation when long-distance flights were still relatively novel events and endorsements by pilots like Captain Barnard would have been influential marketing tools.
