VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement featuring an illustration of two individuals from what appears to be the Elizabethan or Jacobean era, judging by their clothing. The man on the left is depicted with a beard and mustache, wearing a dark doublet with puffed sleeves and a white ruff around his neck. He holds an object that resembles a globe or orb in his right hand while gesturing towards it with his left. The woman on the right gazes at the object with interest and curiosity; she wears an elaborate dress adorned with pearls and lace, also sporting a ruff around her neck. Atop the image are signatures that seem to represent endorsements from "Wm. Gilbert" (William Gilbert) dated 1600, suggesting historical context related to these figures who may be associated with scientific discovery or exploration during that period. Below the illustration is text reading "THE WORK GOES ON, " followed by content discussing knowledge of magnetic attraction of poles discovered centuries ago as indispensable for today's explorers. It mentions William Gilbert as one of those early scientists whose work has been beneficially built upon by modern advancements in navigation technology. The bottom portion contains information about R. B. Pullin & Company Limited located at Phoenix Works, Great West Road, Brentford (with addresses provided), specializing in manufacturing instruments like compasses—highlighting continuity between past discoveries and present technological applications. Please note this description is based solely on visual elements present in the image without additional context regarding its original publication date or specific historical references beyond those mentioned within the advertisement itself.
