EDITORS COMMENTS
The Somme, Volume I, The First Battle of the Somme (1916-1917)" was published by Michelin in 1919 as part of a series of illustrated guides to the battlefields of the First World War. The cover pays tribute to the memory of Michelin workmen and employees who lost their lives during the devastating battle. The First Battle of the Somme, fought between July 1 and November 18, 1916, was one of the largest battles of the First World War, taking place in the northern region of the Somme River in France. The battle resulted in over one million casualties, making it one of the deadliest battles in world history. The cover design features a cream and brown color palette, with text and lettering in a classic, bold font. The image on the cover depicts the ruins of Albert, a town in the Somme region that was heavily damaged during the battle. In the background, the rolling hills of the battlefield are visible, dotted with trees and the remnants of destroyed buildings. The title and subtitle are prominently displayed at the top of the cover, with the dedication to Michelin's fallen workmen and employees below. This poignant book cover serves as a reminder of the human cost of war and the importance of preserving historical records. The Michelin series of illustrated guides to the battlefields of the First World War provided valuable information and insight to those seeking to understand the events of the war and pay their respects to those who died. The cover's design, with its muted colors and somber tone, effectively conveys the solemnity and gravity of the subject matter." Date: The First Battle of the Somme took place between July 1, 1916 and November 18, 1917. The book was published by Michelin in 1919.
