This 19th-century engraving titled "Extraction du petrole, Puits Van-Slyke, Pensylvanie" takes us back in time to witness the early days of the American petroleum industry. The image depicts a bustling scene at the Van-Slyke oil well in Pennsylvania, where workers are engaged in extracting oil from deep within the earth. The print showcases the industrial prowess and ingenuity of America during this period. It serves as a testament to the nation's rapid growth and development as it harnessed its vast natural resources for economic prosperity. The towering derricks and intricate machinery highlight the scale and complexity of this emerging industry. Published in Le Magasin Pittoresque in 1870, this illustration offers a glimpse into an important chapter of American history. Through its digitally cleaned image, we can appreciate both the artistic skill involved in creating such engravings and their role in disseminating knowledge about significant events and industries.

Yet, it is also a reminder that our modern world owes much to these pioneers who laid the foundation for today's thriving petroleum industry.
