VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement illustrating "The Development of the Aeroplane, " featuring an image of a biplane flying over the Atlantic Ocean from New York to Ireland. The map shows New York Bay on the left and outlines part of the eastern coastlines of both North America and Europe, with "NEW YORK" and "IRELAND" labeled prominently. At the center bottom, it advertises "ANGLO-AMERICAN Aerial Mail Service" with an average time stated as "- 24 hours. " This suggests that the service could deliver mail across the Atlantic in approximately one day, which would have been quite impressive at the time this ad was created. On either side of this central text are logos for Wakefield's Castrol Motor Oil (Heavy), described as "THE ONE OIL FOR ALL ENGINES. " The top right corner features information about C. C. Wakefield & Co. , including their address at Wakefield House, Cheapside, London, England. The overall design evokes a sense of progress and modernity associated with early aviation and its role in connecting continents more quickly than ever before through services like aerial mail. It also serves as promotional material for Castrol motor oil by associating it directly with advanced technology such as aeroplanes.
