1910 Humber catalog page from William Lewis

Humber was a successful manufacturer of bicycles, starting in 1887, and automobiles, starting in 1896. This four cylinder aircraft was not very successful. During the First World War, Humber built the Bentley rotary engine BR1 and BR2 under license.

Humber has to have the most bazaar logo. Five naked guys walking in a circle holding hands with their heads bolted together. How do you come up with that...creepy.
