EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken on 1st September 1979, we are transported back to a time of fuel scarcity in New York City. The image showcases a hand-painted sign outside a petrol station on 11th Avenue, proudly proclaiming "We Have Gas". This simple yet powerful message serves as both an advertisement and reassurance to the customers amidst the oil shortage crisis that plagued North America during that era. The portrait format of the photo allows us to focus solely on the sign itself, which stands out against the backdrop of a bustling city street. Its bold lettering catches our attention immediately, drawing us into this snapshot from history. The worn-out appearance of the sign suggests its constant exposure to weather elements and countless passersby seeking fuel for their vehicles. This photograph by Keystone captures not only a moment in time but also reflects larger issues surrounding road transport and power generation. It reminds us of how heavily society relies on fuel for everyday activities and highlights the impact that shortages can have on daily life. As we gaze at this vintage print, it evokes nostalgia for an era defined by resource limitations while simultaneously serving as a reminder of our resilience in finding solutions during challenging times.
