Blast Furnace, 1924
01
Artifact Overview
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, one of two created for the 11th ad, conveys the heat and scale of the Rouge blast furnace operation.
