Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

John Deere’s most famous and fascinating machines are presented as they’ve never been presented before: in a studio, photographed against plain seamless backdrops. The result is a superb collection of unprecedented photographs celebrating every detail of the tractors considered to be icons of industrial design.

From the spartan Waterloo Boy to the streamlining triumph of the Model AOS, from German and Argentine models to the much vaunted New Generation tractors, photographer and author Lee Klancher delves into the renowned Keller Collection to bring Deere fans an utterly unique look at the objects of their passion. Thirty tractors are presented in beautiful full-tractor shots and detail views that highlight notable engineering and design elements.

Contraportada

Long regarded solely for their utilitarian value, John Deere tractors of the twentieth century were in fact at the vanguard of industrial design. This exciting new collection comprises more than 200 specially commissioned photographs detailing 30 incredibly rare production and prototype tractors culled from the acclaimed Keller Collection. Created in a purpose-built studio, the photographs are an unprecedented study of designs that sprung from the fertile minds of Deere & Company and from Henry Dreyfuss and Associates. The result is a visually compelling look at the form-follows-function ethos that drove Deere to the fore of the agricultural industry as well as the design community.
