Ford & Ford Family Photographs:
|
The
Ford Motor Company photographs, about 470,000,
date from 1890-1955 and cover the life and
interests of Henry Ford and his family, camping
trips with his friends, Thomas Edison, Harvey
Firestone and John Burroughs (the "Vagabonds"),
and his antiquarian interests, including his
history museum, outdoor historical village
and school system and his early automobile
racing. All aspects of the Ford Motor
Company are also represented from products
to factories, manufacturing processes to workers'
lives, airplanes to railroads. Besides
the professional photographers who worked
in the FMC Photographic Dept. which was one
of the earliest corporate photography departments,
well known photographers include Charles Sheeler,
Freda Kahlo, Margaret Bourke-White, and Frances
Benjamin Johnston.
