Banquet Program, "Profit Sharing, Ford Motor Company, 1914-1919"
Add to SetSummary
Several threads of industrial imagery can be traced in this cover illustration. The combination of nature, a lone figure, and distant industry recall Arkwright's Cotton Mills by Night by Joseph Wright; the cloudlike mass of exhaust from the distant Highland Park power plant is a reminder that ranks of chimneys and skies of factory smoke were frequently captured by artists to suggest industrial progress.
