VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for Shell Special Petrol, celebrating the victory of Capt. G. de Havilland in the King's Cup Air Race while piloting a D. H. Leopard Moth aircraft and attributing his success to Shell fuel. The ad features bold typography at the top with "KING'S CUP AIR RACE" prominently displayed, followed by text crediting Capt. G. de Havilland and mentioning the aircraft model used. Below this header, there's an illustration depicting two stylized buildings with an airplane flying overhead, leaving behind two speech bubbles that imply a conversation about the race: one bubble says "Marvellous flight. . . I suppose Shell supplied the fuel, " and another responds affirmatively with "You bet they did!" This suggests that using Shell petrol was instrumental in winning the race. The overall design has an art deco influence typical of early 20th-century graphics, emphasizing streamlined shapes and clean lines which evoke speed and modernity—a fitting aesthetic choice for promoting aviation achievements and petroleum products during that era.
