EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "OIL: OKLAHOMA, 1926" takes us back to a small town in the Greater Seminole Oil Field during the early years of the oil industry boom. The image captures Main Street, possibly in Bowlegs, where life was drastically transformed by the discovery of oil in 1923. The scene depicts a muddy street that is almost impassable for automobiles. In fact, horses seem to provide better traction than these newfangled machines. It's a testament to how quickly this once quiet town had been thrust into an era of rapid industrialization and progress. Looking closely at the photograph, we can see various buildings lining both sides of Main Street. A man stands near a store on one side while carts and carriages navigate through the mud on the other side. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates the challenges faced by early pioneers as they navigated through an evolving landscape driven by petroleum. The Granger Collection has beautifully captured this moment from America's history when Oklahoma became synonymous with oil production. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a reminder of how far we have come and how industries like oil have shaped our nation's growth and development over time.
