The slow deterioration of Henry Ford

We have written before that it is still possible to spot a prewar car by just paying attention at your surroundings. You’ll see ‘m everywhere, in paintings, in murals, on statues or in an ornament like this one. It’s the closing stone of a small bridge in Rotterdam, The Netherlands and according to local legend it depicts Henry Ford in a Model T. The stone was made in the 1930s by Leendert Bolle, of whom we have shown other work a few years ago. However, this stone is rapidly deteriorating and the head of Henry Ford is now no longer recognizable (click). Too bad there are no plans for a restoration. (RB)
