Photo Overview
Henry Ford II, charismatic Chairman of the Board of Ford Motor Company, is captured in this sharp 8x10 inch black-and-white close-up while responding to questions on the PBS series “Faces of Business – USA.” The image, taken inside a U.S. television studio circa 1966, shows Ford smiling broadly during his on-air interview with Fortune magazine correspondent T. A. Wise.
Grandson of automotive pioneer Henry Ford, “Hank the Deuce” steered Ford Motor Company out of wartime chaos and into the modern era, introducing the Mustang and leading a legendary 1960s corporate turnaround that inspired the book and film “Ford v Ferrari.” Original network publicity photos from this short-lived PBS/Fortune collaboration seldom surface—add this historic corporate portrait to your collection today before someone else grabs it!
Print analysis: Glossy single-weight photo with typed studio caption and editorial crop marks typical of late-1960s TV press material. No dot pattern, good tonal range, and period production notes indicate a Type 1 original press photo printed within a year of the broadcast (c. 1966).
Condition: Good to fair vintage condition. Some of the photos in this collection have curling, or edge imperfections. Please see photos for scans of the surface.
