Volkswagen: A week at the factory.

Post by jmartini »

Volkswagen: A week at the factory. Peter Keetman. 93 Pages. Soft Cover.

This is really a pictorial of the Wolfsburg Factory. There are many shots of the factory's warehouse and the assembly lines. Prior to the pictures there is an interesting 15 page write up on life at the factory, which includes "The Ten Basic Laws of the Volkswagen Factory". Interesting reading but really worth the money for the photos which were taken when Peter Keetman spent a week there in 1953.

It's a great pictoral book. My only complaint is that it's too much factory-as-art-object. It's as if the factory is incidental, and the industrial photography could have been taken anywhere. We're blessed it happened to be the Volkswagenwerk.
