EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures three well-worn volumes, each dedicated to the memory of Michelin workmen and employees who lost their lives during the First World War. Published by the Michelin Company in 1919, these books - titled "The Somme," "Lille," and "Amiens" - form part of a series of illustrated guides to the battlefields of the Great War. The dates "1914-1918" are etched into the cover, a stark reminder of the devastating conflict that had recently come to an end. The cream and brown covers, adorned with text and lettering in a somber, yet elegant font, bear witness to the historical significance of the content within. The books are open to various pages, revealing detailed maps, illustrations, and descriptions of key sites in the northern French regions of Albert, Bapaume, Peronne, and others that were pivotal during the Battle of the Somme in 1916 and the Battle of Amiens in 1918. These volumes serve as a poignant tribute to the fallen Michelin employees, who undoubtedly played a crucial role in the production and distribution of these essential wartime resources. The books were not intended for commercial gain but rather as a testament to the lives lost during the war and the company's commitment to preserving the history of the battlefields. As we reflect on the sacrifices made during the First World War, these books stand as a powerful reminder of the human cost of conflict and the importance of historical preservation.
