EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corp. in Akron, Ohio, during the height of World War II in 1942. Taken by renowned photographer Alfred T Palmer, this image showcases a significant industrial facility that played a crucial role in America's war effort. The photograph reveals an expansive building with its smokestack billowing thick plumes of smoke into the sky. The exterior is adorned with large windows and architectural details that reflect the era's design aesthetics. The vibrant colors bring life to this historical moment frozen in time. Located in Summit County, Ohio, this plant was at the forefront of manufacturing fibreglass for various wartime applications. As part of the Farm Security Administration and Office of War Information initiatives, Palmer documented American industry during this critical period. The image symbolizes not only the ingenuity and innovation prevalent during World War II but also represents America's dedication to supporting its troops on both domestic and international fronts. It serves as a reminder of how industries like Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corp contributed significantly to shaping our country's history. Preserved within the Library of Congress' Congressional Library collection, this photograph stands as a testament to our nation's heritage and industrial prowess during one of its most challenging times. Alfred T Palmer skillfully captured an important chapter in American history through his lens, allowing us to appreciate both the artistry and significance behind each frame he created.
