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. Among many other events, Ford photographers documented the 1935 California Pacific International Exposition in San Diego -- where Ford Motor Company's exhibition was the largest and most popular.
