On View
Not on view• The industrial aspect of Kansas agriculture provided fodder for Dickerson’s imagery, and he was especially attracted to grain elevators. He produced views of the massive storage containers on the edge of Wichita and smaller Kansas communities.
• The elevators depicted in this watercolor are “iron-clads,” so called because of their galvanized iron or tin cladding.
• Railcars like the red one rendered behind the buildings here would have acquired grain and cattle for delivery to far flung markets.
