EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the oil industry in the 1920s, a time when it was rapidly growing in commercial importance. Taken by an English photographer, this image showcases various processes involved in the industry. From wagons hitched to transport goods to trade, to derricks boring into the ground for oil extraction, every aspect is depicted with precision. The photograph highlights key elements such as apparatuses used for drilling, gushers spewing out oil from deep within the earth, and pipelines connecting different regions. It also showcases refineries and storage tanks along a riverbank while a steamer carries cargo nearby. The presence of railway tracks suggests efficient transportation of oil through cans and petrol-filled machinery. This image provides valuable insight into how the oil industry operated during that era. The industrial landscape portrayed here reflects both progress and challenges faced by this ever-growing sector. With its detailed depiction of equipment like lorries and tanks, it serves as a visual testament to technological advancements made during that time. Preserved in a private collection but available for public viewing today thanks to Bridgeman Images' efforts, this photograph not only documents history but also reminds us of the significant role played by oil in shaping commerce throughout the twentieth century.
