Pictured is a Ford Motor Company tractor, most likely from the Fordson line, the small and inexpensive machine that brought mass production to farm power. Dated to about 1925, the image reflects a decade when Ford's low prices pushed many American farms away from horses and mules. The National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., commercial studio, made the photograph, and its glass negatives record the period's machinery in sharp detail. Streaks and blemishes on the glass come from the natural breakdown of its original coating, which is worth keeping in mind when judging the image's clarity.
