Taken by renowned photographer John Vachon in 1943, this print showcases the impressive Mid-Continent Refinery located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The image transports us back to a time when America was heavily reliant on petroleum for its industrial growth and economic prosperity. The towering structures of the refinery dominate the skyline, symbolizing the immense power and influence of this vital sector. Vachon's masterful composition highlights both the grandeur and intricacy of this oil refinery. The intricate network of pipes, tanks, and machinery is a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess. It serves as a reminder that behind every drop of fuel we consume lies an extensive process involving countless workers dedicated to extracting, refining, and distributing petroleum. In capturing this momentous scene during World War II era America, Vachon also pays tribute to President Roosevelt's New Deal policies aimed at revitalizing industries across the nation. This photograph stands as a visual representation of progress and resilience amidst challenging times.
