"This beautiful retrospective begins with an intimate tour of the facility, showcasing the machines, textures, and details seen during its last days of operation in Spring 2023. Tucker Schwinn, the author and photographer, documents the dismantling process and the aftermath, exposing the factory stripped of its machines, with the remaining patina and evidence of the legacy Waterford holds in the culture and industry."
"Later in life, Schwinn returned to these walls as an adult to work there until its final days. A bound hardcover with 240 pages, each layering history, presents portraits of machines, processes, and textures that tell the story of decades of bicycle creation. It captures the final chapter of a family legacy deeply rooted in Americana, Midwest manufacturing, and steeped in cycling history."
