A woman in a leather flying helmet stands beside a biplane in this Bovril advertisement, a pairing that would have caught the eye of readers in the 1910s and 1920s, when aviation was still a novelty and women pilots were making headlines. Bovril, the British beef extract sold in a distinctive jar, often used contemporary themes of health, energy, and modern life to sell its product, and the aviator suggests vigor and daring. Posters like this show how food makers borrowed the excitement of new technology to market everyday staples.
