With 36 mounted gelatin silver photos of various size including six large images from ca. 15x20 cm 6x8 in; the rest of the photos are from ca. 12x16 cm 4 ¾ x 6 ½ in to ca. 8x105 cm 3 ¼ x 4 in.

Original black half morocco with cloth boards neatly rebacked in style with black morocco; original endpapers. A few photos mildly faded or with mild silvering but overall a very good album of interesting photographs. Historically significant album with early original photos of the properties and operations of the “Assam Oil Company” near Digboi north-eastern Assam known as the birthplace of the oil industry in India. Oil was first discovered in the area in the 1860s and the first oil production began near modern-day Digboi in 1889. “Assam Oil Company” was formed in 1899 and developed oil deposits in Digboi and Makum opening the refinery at Digboi in 1901. It became the first oil refinery in Asia and still operates today. The company was closely associated with the “Assam Railway and Trading Co.” which connected its oil fields and processing facilities to the rest of Assam. In 1921 the properties of the “Assam Oil Company” were sold to the “Burmah Oil Company;” it now belongs to the “Indian Oil Corporation Ltd.” The album opens with a group portrait of European associates of the company captioned “Assam Oil Co.” One of the people on the photo captioned “Eric” is most likely the album’s compiler. Six large photos show the company settlement in Digboi with bungalows and residential houses of European and native workers oil reservoirs and a railway track. There are also interesting views of an oil derrick under construction railway tracks and an approaching train most likely of the “Assam Railway and Trading Co.” exterior and interior of a residential building an area of cleared forest Assam villages native families children &c. Three other photos portray “Eric” posing with his friends in an Assam village and jungle. Nine magazine or newspaper clippings reproduce photos with printed captions of the construction of an oil derrick transportation of a Brennan boiler elephants at work and a general view of the Digboi Refinery. One of the photos pictures one “E.B. Richards” mounted on an elephant who could possibly be “Eric” from the original photos. Overall an interesting early original source on the history of the Digboi oil industry. hardcover
1955réf. 187022Teheran: Iranian Oil Exploration & Producing Company 1955. First edition of this rare internal report on Iranian oil production commissioned by the Iranian Oil Exploration & Producing Company and the Iranian Oil Refining Company 4 years after the nationalization.

This report is a summary of the first year of the consortium's activities. It discusses the background of the Iranian oil industry the exploration and drilling of the Iranian Oil Exploration & Producing Co. the activity of the Iranian Oil Refining Company administration and the oil industry revenue. Like the Durham and Berlin copies the present does not include Appendix C 1 leaf graph of monthly oil production and the loose list of illustrations maps and photographs listed in the Appendices section. Folio. Mimeographed document. Original printed wrappers cloth-covered spine paper envelope pasted to inner front wrapper wire-stitched.

1865réf. List2532New York: Wm. A. Pond 1865. Folio 13 ½ x 10 ½ inches. Fine condition. Fine. An unusual use of sheet music as satire with the lithographed cover showing a fake stock certificate. The cover - engraved by Major & Knapp - advertises an ownership share in the Spondolix Petroleum company and states that F.B. Helmsmuller who was actually a noted composer was the “Treasurer and General Manager” of the company. This is a particularly fine example of the piece. In our research we found several references to this piece as being a real stock certificate for a real company however this is clearly a parody of the oil business. This was printed in 1865 when the Pennsylvania oil industry was booming and the engraved illustration appears to show a countryside scene in Pennsylvania or somewhere similar. Four copies in OCLC. Wm. A. Pond unknown

1970réf. 218701970. Texas Labor History Environmental History Photography Unidentified photographer Texas oil field photographs circa 1970s document petroleum extraction industrial labor and land transformation in the American Southwest during a period of sustained energy production and infrastructure expansion. The images provide direct visual evidence of drilling operations mechanical systems and work crews engaged in oil field development situating human labor within the broader environmental changes associated with resource extraction. The archive supports research into energy history industrial technology and the reshaping of rural landscapes through oil production in the late twentieth century. Texas circa 1970s. Archive of 82 original color snapshot photographs each measuring approximately 3.5 x 4.75 inches depicting oil drilling sites machinery and surrounding terrain. The photographs include wide views of steel derricks and drilling rigs with visible components such as rotary tables crown blocks and mud systems as well as close range images of workers engaged in construction welding and equipment alignment. Additional scenes show cement mixing and foundational work amid limestone aggregates trailer mounted compressors and generators oil storage tanks and transport vehicles positioned throughout the worksite. The surrounding environment is documented through images of cleared access roads graded earth holding ponds fencing and mesquite brush alongside occasional views of adjacent ranch life including livestock enclosures and domestic scenes. The archive situates oil extraction within the broader transformation of rural Texas landscapes during the late twentieth century when energy production reshaped land use infrastructure and local economies. The juxtaposition of heavy industrial equipment with agricultural and residential elements illustrates the integration of petroleum development into existing rural environments. Seasonal variation including a snow covered pasture further emphasizes the continuity of operations across changing conditions. Light edge wear and minor curling to some prints; colors remain strong and images clear. Overall very good condition. A substantial photographic record of oil industry labor and environmental change in Texas during the 1970s. unknown
