A vintage promotional advertising display card for National Westminster Bank, likely dating from the late 1960s or 1970s. The card features a lilac background with a large black-and-white graphic illustration in the style of a nineteenth-century engraving. The image depicts two moustachioed men wearing bowler hats and seated in an early horseless carriage or open-topped motor car. A speech bubble emanating from one figure contains the text: I GOT EVERYTHING – INCLUDING THE OPTIONAL EXTRAS – WITH A NATIONAL WESTMINSTER PERSONAL LOAN. The item is printed on a heavy cardstock board. National Westminster Bank was formed in 1968, and this style of humorous, nostalgic advertising was characteristic of the bank’s promotional material following the merger.
