Shell Motor Oils Sullivan
Rare original vintage advertising poster: Shell is Nature's Mixture. Shell Spirit is singularly rich in Natural Benzol in correct proportion with the petrol to assure perfect combustion. Being a great engine cleaning agent there is no risk of sticky valves or a fouled engine. Every drop is converted into power, hence the high mileage of Shell. Reduce friction losses by lubricating with Shell Motor Oils. Great early black and white illustration by Edmund Joseph Sullivan (1869-1933) depicted two ladies sitting in a nature scene surrounded by trees and flowers while pouring liquid into a giant shell from large jars, the text at the top and below. Fair condition, tears in left and bottom margins, creases and folds, irregular edge on the right side.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All our antique and vintage posters, books, maps and prints listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Practically all of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves carving each colour of the image onto a piece of stone. The poster sheet is then imprinted consecutively with a stone slab for each colour, creating a stunning and rich image.
With the exception of silk printing, we believe that other printing techniques do not deliver the same impact of colour as lithography.
Where do you deliver to?
We ship posters worldwide rolled in shock-resistant and hard wearing tubes. Unless specified otherwise, delivery is free within the UK and standard international delivery is £25 for orders placed via our website.
