EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Oil-wells in the United States, showing the forest of workings which help to supply the world with petrol" captures a mesmerizing scene from the 19th century. Taken by an anonymous European photographer, this image showcases the vast expanse of oil wells that contribute to fueling the world's demand for petrol. The photograph is part of a private collection and was featured as an illustration in The Romance of Motoring by T C Bridges and H Hessell Tiltman in 1933. It offers a glimpse into the early days of motor transportation, where cars were still considered a symbol of excitement, glamour, and romance. In this image, we witness rows upon rows of oil wells stretching out like a forest. These working structures represent America's significant contribution to global petrol supply. As one gazes at this picture, it becomes evident how integral these oil wells are in shaping not only American history but also their impact on worldwide transportation. The photo encompasses various themes such as car culture, transport development, and America's role as an industrial powerhouse during that time period. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come since then while acknowledging our reliance on fossil fuels for passenger transportation. Overall, this remarkable photograph provides us with both historical insight and aesthetic appreciation for its subject matter – making it a valuable addition to any art collection or exploration into early American motoring history.
