EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph from the early 1900s, we are transported back in time to a quaint and seemingly incongruous scene in Izmir, Turkey. The image captures a storeroom filled with stacks upon stacks of wrapped and neatly arranged tires, their round shapes and uniformity a testament to the meticulous manufacturing process that brought them to life. But what sets this scene apart from the typical industrial imagery of the era is the backdrop of traditional Jewish mosaic art adorning the walls. The mosaics, with their vibrant colors and intricate patterns, add an unexpected and enchanting element to the otherwise utilitarian space. The juxtaposition of the modern tire factory and the ancient art form speaks to the rich cultural tapestry of Izmir, a city that has long been a melting pot of diverse influences. The tires, still wrapped in their original packaging, are a reminder of the early days of automobile transportation and the role that Michelin played in shaping the industry. The French tire manufacturer, which was founded in 1889, revolutionized the field with its introduction of pneumatic tires, which offered a smoother and more comfortable ride than their solid rubber counterparts. The photograph, taken in 1907, offers a glimpse into the inner workings of a Michelin tire factory during this transformative period in transportation history. The image also serves as a poignant reminder of the coexistence of tradition and innovation, as the ancient art of mosaic making continues to thrive amidst the rapid advancements of modern technology.
