(OIL--OKLAHOMA) fullenwider, g.e.
Album entitled "OIL," with 14 photographs and a 4-part panorama by Fullenwider. With images of simple, hand built drilling rigs, storage drums, and two "power plants" located in the vast, barren plains; the apparent oil tycoons stand poised and proud among it all, examining maps and checking in on their business venture. Silver prints, each approximately 9 1/2x7 3/4 inches (24.1x19.7 cm.), the panorama measuring 37 1/2x7 1/2 inches (95.3x19.1 cm.), mounted to linen, recto only, most with a numeric notation or identifying caption, in the negative. 4to, marbled green wrappers, with the title, in pencil, on the front cover, and with the photographer's hand stamp inside the front and rear covers. Circa 1920s
