EDITORS COMMENTS
Two evocative pages from "The Somme," Volume I, published by Michelin in 1919, serve as a poignant reminder of the First Battle of the Somme during World War I. These pages, which are part of a series of illustrated guides to the battlefields of the war, are dedicated to the memory of Michelin workmen and employees who lost their lives during the conflict. The dates "1916-1917" are inscribed at the top of the pages, marking the timeframe of the battle. The open book lies on a table, with the pages slightly askew, revealing the intricate detail of the illustrations. The text on the pages describes the key locations of the battle, including Albert, Bapaume, and Peronne. The images depict the devastation of the battlefield, with crosses and crosses of cemeteries in the background, a stark reminder of the human cost of the conflict. Two other books, "Lille" and "Amiens," are resting underneath "The Somme," suggesting a deeper exploration of the historical sites of the war in northern France. The pages of the books are worn and creased, adding to their historical character. The pages of "The Somme" are yellowed with age, a testament to the passage of time since the end of the war. The Michelin company published this series of books postwar, reflecting a growing interest in the history and commemoration of the battlefields of the First World War. These pages offer a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the events of a time long gone and the sacrifices made by so many.
