VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for Smiths of England, specifically part of their "Milestones Series No. 7, " which commemorates the "First Crossing of Atlantic by Aeroplane. " The image features an illustration of a biplane, reminiscent of early 20th-century aircraft design, flying above the ocean with clouds in the background. The text below the main title provides historical context, stating that although air service across the Atlantic was anticipated after World War I, it wasn't until 1919 that two Englishmen made the first non-stop west to east transatlantic flight in a plane equipped with Smith's aviation instruments. It mentions Alcock and Brown as being knighted for their achievement but does not provide their full names or titles due to privacy reasons. Below this narrative section is additional information about S. SMITH & SONS (ENGLAND) LTD. , listing various products such as motor accessories and clocks alongside other technical equipment they manufacture. The bottom right corner includes a reference number: Scientific Advt.
