EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the excitement and elegance of the Marseille to Nice race of 1896. The image showcases a De Dion break, a remarkable vehicle competing in this early motor race. Manufactured by Gilardoni Fils et Cie of Paris, these ceramic tiles beautifully depict the scene as imagined by Ernest Montaut, an artist known for his illustrations related to automobiles. The art nouveau style is evident in this piece, with its intricate details and flowing lines. The car itself stands out against a backdrop of lush foliage and a majestic sailing boat on the Mediterranean Sea. The driver, dressed in period attire, exudes determination as he navigates through the challenging terrain. One cannot help but notice the prominent presence of Michelin branding throughout the artwork. This serves as a reminder that Michelin played a significant role in early motor racing history, providing innovative pneumatic tires that revolutionized the industry. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to an era when cars were still considered a novelty and races like these captured people's imaginations. It is not only a celebration of technological progress but also an homage to the spirit of adventure and competition. Displayed at London's Michelin Building, this artwork serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact. It reminds us how far we have come since those early days while honoring those who paved the way for modern transportation.
