EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by artist Dmitri Ivanovich Yermakov in c1890, showcases the oil wells at Baku on the Caspian Sea in Russia. The image provides a glimpse into the industrial revolution of the early 20th century, as this region was responsible for producing nearly half of the world's oil during that time. The photograph captures a bustling scene with numerous male workers laboring diligently amidst towering derricks and vast oil fields. These hardworking individuals played an integral role in driving forward the booming petroleum industry of Azerbaijan, now known as modern-day Azerbaijan. Yermakov's composition skillfully emphasizes both the magnitude and significance of this location. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to the image, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in a bygone era where men toiled tirelessly to extract precious resources from beneath the Earth's surface.
