Dunlop's Fort 90 tyre advertisement pairs the company's product with a lineup of historic transport vehicles, a visual argument that the tyre belonged to a long tradition of getting people and goods moving. Advertising of this kind was common in the early and middle twentieth century, when manufacturers relied on bold illustration to link their brand with reliability and progress. Worth noticing is how the ad frames the tyre as the unseen link between machine and road, a claim that made sense as motor travel expanded across Britain and beyond.
