VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement or announcement featuring an illustration of three individuals looking upwards, presumably at the sky. They appear to be spectators watching an air race. The text above and below the image provides information about two specific aviation events: The top section reads "LONDON TO CARDIFF AIR RACE won by Capt. W. Stryan flying Mr. Derwent Hall Caine's de Havilland Leopard Moth (Gipsy Major Engine). " Below that, another event is mentioned: "CINQUE PORTS WAKEFIELD CUP won by Mr. H. Probyn, flying a Miles 'Hawk', Cirrus III engine. " At the bottom of the image, there's a promotional statement indicating that both victories were achieved using "SPECIAL SHELL PETROL, " which implies that Shell petrol was used as fuel in both aircraft. The style of artwork and typography suggests this image may be from the early to mid-20th century when air racing was quite popular and often used for advertising purposes.
