EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white illustration from circa 1930 features the iconic character Bibendum, also known as the Michelin Man, with a tire wrapped around the Earth globe. Created by Marius Rossillon (O Galop), this image showcases Bibendum as an allegorical figure representing travel and exploration. The illustration was originally used as the cover of a Michelin map of Northern France, highlighting its geographical significance. The artist skillfully portrays Bibendum smoking a cigar, adding to his larger-than-life presence. This detail may symbolize addiction or indulgence while also evoking a sense of wonder and mystery. Bibendum's imposing figure against the backdrop of outer space emphasizes his celestial nature. Stars scatter across the sky, alluding to astronomy and scientific discovery during this era. As a French creation, Bibendum represents not only France but also European unity in his role as an emblematic character for Michelin. The tire encircling the Earth serves as both a literal representation of transportation and a metaphorical symbol for movement and progress. It conveys that travel is at once essential yet boundless in its possibilities. Overall, this vintage illustration captures both the imagination and historical context of early 20th-century Europe through its use of symbolism, artistry, and cultural iconography.
