EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary Henry Ford, an iconic figure in American history. Renowned as a pioneering car manufacturer, Ford's impact on the automobile industry is immeasurable. Born in 1863, he dedicated his spare time to building his first car in 1896 before establishing his own manufacturing company in Detroit, USA, just seven years later. Ford's most notable achievement was undoubtedly the creation of the Model T cars between 1908 and 1927. A staggering fifteen million of these revolutionary vehicles were produced during that time period. In addition to this groundbreaking accomplishment, Ford introduced factory production line techniques in 1913 which revolutionized efficiency within the industry. Not only did Ford leave an indelible mark on automotive technology but also on workers' rights. He reduced working hours and implemented a five-day workweek, setting new standards for labor conditions at that time. This vivid artwork from "Histoire de la Locomotion Terrestre" (Paris, 1936) beautifully captures Henry Ford's visionary spirit and entrepreneurial prowess. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, it serves as a testament to his significant contributions to both science and society. As we gaze upon this historical portrait of one of America's greatest industrialists and inventors, we are reminded of how far we have come thanks to visionaries like Henry Ford who shaped our world through their ingenuity and determination.
