Artifact Overview

In 1913, Henry Ford established Ford Motor Company's photographic department. Though few internal records describe company photography, remaining photographs reveal a wide range of departmental activity. Over nearly 100 years, Ford photographers and archivists documented company ventures, personal affairs, and daily life around the world. These two images show Singapore in Southeast Asia.
