old Michelin tyres advert



The illustration on the front cover of the magazine Les Sports Modernes from May 1905 was subsequently used for an advertisement in the UK for Michelin tyres (tires or pneus in French).  Apart from the dominant colour, there are small differences in the two.

Driving like a lunatic may well have "vanquished" the railway, but hopefully this wasn't intended as an encouragement to try!
