VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a historical advertisement featuring an early biplane, promoting the travel of Peace Conference Delegates by airplane between London and Paris. The company advertised is Adam, Grimaldi & Co. , Ltd. , which manufactured the aircraft complete with all interior wood fittings, petrol and oil tanks, ammunition boxes and chute for machine gun, together with top wing centre section. The ad also mentions that they fitted undercarriage and wheels, joy stick and rudder controls, tail plane elevating gear. The advertisement reflects on the company's contributions during wartime—presumably World War I—stating that their efforts have been directed towards government work which exclusively called for extensive manufacturing facilities. It also hints at future endeavors where they will focus on producing a 12 H. P. Albert car. At the bottom are details about Adam Grimaldi & Co. 's location at Albert Works in Glasshouse Street off Vauxhall Embankment in S. E. 1 London along with contact information including telephone number 852 Central. The image captures a moment from history when aviation was transitioning from military to civilian uses such as international diplomacy transport following WWI.
