Edsel, Eleanor, Clara and Henry Ford with Guests at Tintype Studio in Greenfield Village, 1929-1930
Add to SetSummary
Just before the official dedication of his historical village in October 1929, Henry Ford decided to add a tintype photographic studio. Ford's staff worked feverishly to complete the building--designed to look like a small tintype studio from the 1870s and 1880s--in one day! Not long after it opened, Ford posed with family and friends in the Greenfield Village Tintype Studio for this group portrait.
