EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the petroleum industry in the early 20th century. Taken by an English photographer, this image is a part of a private collection and was originally featured in The Harmsworth Encyclopaedia around 1922. The photograph showcases various aspects of the petroleum industry, from drilling operations in West Virginia to bustling towns like Bibi Eybat. It also highlights key locations such as Pacific Sta Barbara in California, where pumping and filling activities were taking place. The railway tank cars seen here played a crucial role in transporting oil across different regions. With its rich historical significance, this image offers valuable insights into the growth and development of the petroleum industry during that era. It provides viewers with a glimpse into how oil extraction and production were carried out before modern advancements transformed these processes. Notably, this photo does not represent any specific company but rather serves as an illustration for knowledge seekers interested in understanding the history behind one of humanity's most significant industries. Its inclusion within The Harmsworth Encyclopaedia demonstrates its importance as an educational resource for readers seeking information on early 20th-century petroleum practices. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of history through their fine art finder platform, allowing us to appreciate and learn from it today.
