VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This vintage advertisement features two colossal figures, representing Imperial Airways and Shell Lubricating Oil, shaking hands across a cityscape. The handshake is occurring above the rooftops of skyscrapers, symbolizing the partnership between air travel and oil companies in bridging distances. A speech bubble from one figure reads "NEARER!", suggesting that their collaboration brings destinations closer together for consumers. The text below credits Imperial Airways' commitment to safety and efficiency through precautions like using Shell Lubricating Oil on regular routes and for all Atlantic crossings. This ad likely aimed to instill confidence in potential passengers about the reliability of air travel during an era when it was still becoming established as a common mode of transportation.
