EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history when the US Navy Blimp soared gracefully over the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company Plant in Akron, Ohio. Taken around 1934, this image showcases the impressive scale of both the industrial plant and the airship. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company Plants 1 and 2, located in East Akron, were at the forefront of tire manufacturing during this era. The sprawling complex is seen from an aerial perspective with rows upon rows of buildings and smokestacks stretching into the distance. It serves as a testament to American industry and innovation. Hovering above this bustling scene is a majestic U. S. Navy airship, adding an element of awe to the composition. The blimp's presence symbolizes not only military might but also highlights its close association with Goodyear as one of their key customers for aircraft tires. This historic photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era where technology met industry in perfect harmony. The contrast between nature's floating vessel -the blimp- and man-made structures exemplifies human progress while reminding us of our place within it. As we admire this remarkable image captured through lithographic printing techniques, we are transported back to an exciting time when Akron was at the heart of America's industrial revolution – forever immortalized by Universal Images Group (UIG).
