It is headquartered in the Netherlands and incorporated in the United Kingdom. It is one of the six oil and gas "supermajors" and the third-largest company in the world measured by 2018 revenues. Artist: Charles Green Shaw Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this English advertising poster, which was part of an unusual advertising campaign by Shell advertising director Jack Beddington. He commissioned hundreds of posters from graphic designers and painters from around the world, both known and unknown, and on some of them, the message was very abstract (this one assures the viewer that "smokers prefer Shell" and shows images of cigars, cigarettes, and pipes, a very unusual message!).
