Description from the seller
Henry Ford II – Memorial Album Visit to the Netherlands 1948 – Original Photos – Ford Motor Company
A special and rare commemorative album issued on the occasion of the official visit of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ford II to the Netherlands in February–March 1948.
This luxuriously produced album was created for invited guests and acquaintances around the visit of the then-president of the Ford Motor Company. It is not a commercial publication, but a representative presentation album in presumably limited edition.
The album documents the historic visit during the postwar reconstruction period in the Netherlands, with original mounted black-and-white photo prints with captions. The photos show, among other things:
- Arrival and departure at Schiphol
- Visits to Dutch branches and locations
- Meetings with Official Ford Dealers
- Receptions and dinners
- Various official moments during the visit
Including the original speeches booklet:
“To speeches delivered during the meeting of the Dutch Official Ford Dealers in the Apollo Pavilion in Amsterdam on 1 March 1948”.
Execution
- Large landscape format
- Luxurious imitation leather binding with embossing
- Ribbon binding
- Original mounted photo prints on cardboard
- Mounted captions
- Including the loose accompanying speeches booklet
- Period: 1948
- Country: Netherlands
- Subject: Ford Motor Company / Automobilia / Company history
- Language: Dutch
Condition
The album is in good vintage condition with signs of wear appropriate to its age. The cover shows wear (especially on the back there are glue residues) and yellowing. The interior and the original photos are well preserved. The speeches booklet is present. See photos for an accurate impression of the condition; these form an integral part of the description.
