Postcard
Color postcard depicting Henry Ford speaking into the ear of Thomas Edison.
Printed on verso: Henry Ford and Thomas A. Edison, Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village, Dearborn, Michigan.
Henry Ford and Thomas Edison in conversation at Greenfield Village, in 1928. Their friendship has begun in 1896, when Edison encouraged the then young and unknown Ford's automobile experiments.
The deafness, which has afflicted the inventor since childhood, is evident in this pose, as Henry Ford speaks loudly into his ear.
