Ford Rouge Glass Plant, 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. This painting was not used in the published campaign: an alternate view appeared in the 9th ad in the series.
