Shell’s advertising stopped during the Second World War, due to restrictions on petrol. In 1952 Shell revived its ‘Everywhere You Go’ campaign with posters like this one by the artist Robin Darwin (1910-1974). Darwin, great-grandson of the well-known scientist Charles Darwin, worked for both Shell and Wedgwood during his career.
