Powerhouse, River, and Dam, 1924
Add to SetSummary
In 1924-25 the Ford Motor Company ran a series of sixteen dramatic advertisements in the Saturday Evening Post and Country Gentleman magazines. The effectiveness of the ads was due in large part to the specially commissioned artwork that accompanied the descriptive text. The restricted palette employed in the original art was imposed by the "duotone" process used for color reproduction.
