EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Michelin Man, also known as Bibendum, in a French advertising campaign for Michelin tyres. Created by Marius Rossillon, also known as O Galop, this artwork is part of a private collection and captures the essence of early 20th-century advertising. The Michelin Man, with his distinctive inflatable appearance, stands tall and proud against a vibrant backdrop. His presence exudes confidence and reliability, perfectly embodying the qualities associated with Michelin tyres. The attention to detail in this advertisement is remarkable; every fold and contour of the Michelin Man's body is meticulously captured. Displayed on an eye-catching poster that undoubtedly caught the attention of passersby during its time, this image highlights not only the durability of Michelin tyres but also their importance in everyday life. The artist Giancarlo Costa has skillfully preserved this piece of history through his photography. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are transported back to an era where advertising was both artistic and persuasive. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern world filled with digital marketing techniques, there is still something special about traditional forms of promotion. Whether you appreciate it for its historical significance or simply admire its visual appeal, this print encapsulates the timeless charm and impact of French advertising from yesteryears.
