Alfred Palmer Framed Print, WWII Aircraft Factory Wall Art

Description

This wartime photograph by Alfred T. Palmer, taken for the Office of War Information in October 1942 at the Douglas Aircraft plant in Long Beach, arrives printed and framed. It comes in one size, 8×8, available in Barnwood, Charcoal, Black, or Walnut. As an Alfred Palmer framed print it documents a real moment on a real production line.

The photograph shows row after row of clear, molded aircraft nose cones resting on wooden cradles and receding down the length of the factory floor. Studio lights reflect off their curved surfaces as rows of small white points, and between the rows, women in coveralls and headscarves polish each one by hand. Palmer made this image at a civilian aircraft plant during the height of wartime production, when women filled roles across the assembly line. It is a documentary photograph rather than a posed illustration, and history buffs and collectors of vintage aviation wall art choose it for exactly that reason.

Made in the USA and made to order in our family workshop in Northeast Ohio, this print is finished with fade-resistant inks that keep the archival image sharp. It suits vintage aviation wall art for a den, office, or study, and it stands alongside military wall decor and military picture frames as a fitting addition to a history buff’s collection.

The 8×8 stands on its own fold-out easel back on a shelf or desk, or hangs on the wall using the included hanger. The frame closes with a clear front panel, lightweight and shatter-resistant, in your choice of Barnwood, Charcoal, Black, or Walnut, simple to hang and simple to set up.

Add this Alfred Palmer framed print to a den, office, or study, or give it to the history buff who collects genuine wartime photography.

Every order is made and packed by hand in our family shop in Northeast Ohio. We use premium gallery-wrapped canvas, high-quality frame material and fade-resistant inks for both prints and canvas. Each frame is made to order and shipped same or next business day.
