Dunlop Société Française des Pneumatiques, c. 1890s.

John Boyd Dunlop (1840-1921), and inventor of modern inflatable tires, is represented at lower right. In the foreground, we see a young woman dressed in a translucent white gown, framed by two Greek columns, with a view behind her of an industrial site. Like an ancient image of Victory, in one hand she holds a long golden palm branch indicating success, and in the other, a bicycle tire.
