EDITORS COMMENTS
This tile print, showcasing the Paris-Vienne Race of 1902, is a stunning testament to the rich history of motor racing and the technological advancements of the early automobile era. The intricately designed ceramic piece, sourced from the Michelin Building in Chelsea's Fulham Road, depicts the Farman team's Panhard automobile in action during the Paris-Vienne Race. The Paris-Vienne Race, held on the 12th of October in 1902, was a significant event in the annals of motorsport history. It was the first long-distance race organized by the Michelin Tyre Company, with the primary objective of showcasing the capabilities of pneumatic tyres. The race, which took place over a distance of approximately 850 kilometers, attracted a diverse field of participants, including the Farman team and their Panhard automobile. The Farman team, consisting of Henri and Maurice Farman, was a pioneering force in the early days of aviation and automobile racing. Their Panhard automobile, powered by a 12-horsepower engine, was one of the most advanced vehicles of its time. The sleek design, combined with the innovative use of Michelin's pneumatic tyres, gave the Panhard an edge over its competitors. This tile print, with its vibrant illustrations and meticulous attention to detail, transports us back to a bygone era. It serves as a poignant reminder of the thrill and excitement that surrounded early motor racing events and the groundbreaking technological advancements that shaped the automobile industry.
