Michelin Tyres
Original antique advertising poster for Michelin Tyres. Bright and colourful stylish early Belle Epoque image of an elegant lady wearing a dress, hat, necklace and fashionable long gloves with her scarf flowing behind her in the wind, driving an early car next to a shoe repair shop with two men (one a cobbler, the other looks like Old Master Time), looking amazed at her Michelin tyres as she calls out to them, with the text: Rien a faire, Messieurs, c'est une semelle Michelin! / There's nothing to do, gentlemen, this is a Michelin tyre! (translation: semelle = sole or tyre tread) Printed by Verneau, Paris. Very good condition, restored tears and staining, backed on linen.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All our antique and vintage posters, books, maps and prints listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Practically all of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves carving each colour of the image onto a piece of stone. The poster sheet is then imprinted consecutively with a stone slab for each colour, creating a stunning and rich image.
With the exception of silk printing, we believe that other printing techniques do not deliver the same impact of colour as lithography.
Where do you deliver to?
We ship posters worldwide rolled in shock-resistant and hard wearing tubes. Unless specified otherwise, delivery is free within the UK and standard international delivery is £25 for orders placed via our website.
