Dow Chemical Portrayed

Henry Knighton Hammond

Looking down the Tittabawasee River toward the Dow Chemical Plant 1920
In 1920, the accomplished European
artist Arthur Henry Knighton-Hammond was commissioned to create renderings of
the Dow Chemical Company plant in Midland, Michigan. The commission was fueled
partially by company founder - H.H. Dow's desire to enhance the company's
public profile and thereby sales. The result is an invaluable artistic record
of the company's early plant.
The Park Library is fortunate to
exhibit this collection on loan from
The Herbert H. & Grace A. Dow
Foundation
