Ford’s factory in Dagenham

• 

Terrence Cuneo was an English painter famous for his scenes of railways and motoring, for instance the Blue Train Bentley. In 1947 he was commissioned by Ford to make a series of six paintings depicting Ford's car, truck, van and tractor production at the company's UK Dagenham plant. All six paintings were kept at the Ford training centre in Boreham, near Chelmsford, and in 1987 were loaned to the Terence Cuneo 80th Birthday Exhibition at the Mall Gallery in London. Two of those paintings are now to be sold by Bonhams on November 6th. Shown here is the one called ‘Vehicle Inspection’ from February 1947 and the other is ‘Ford Thames Foundry’ from April 1947.
