Artifact Overview

Henry Ford's corporate family was generous when it came to acknowledging their leader's enterprising and innovative strides forward. This portrait plate was commissioned by an Italian Ford dealer; all he asked for in exchange for this amazing piece of ceramic art was that an autographed photograph of Henry Ford be sent to the artist.
