Subject/Title of Window: Agriculture and Wildlife

Brief Description of Subject: The window features ten panels with painted images that represent the Fords’ great interest in agriculture and wildlife. A Medieval poem in the lower central panel reflects Henry Ford’s strong belief in the virtue of work: “To no one is given/ Right of delay/ Noted in heaven/ Passeth each day/ Be not thou fruitless/ Work while ye may/ Trifling were bootless/ Watch thou and pray.”

The MSGC is a constantly evolving database. Not all the data that has been collected by volunteers has been sorted and entered. Not every building has been completely documented.

All images in the Index are either born-digital photographs of windows or buildings or are scans of slides, prints, or other published sources. These images have been provided by volunteers and the quality of the material varies widely.

If you have any questions, additions or corrections, or think you can provide better images and are willing to share them, please contact donald20@msu.edu
