195680035General Drafting Company cartographer for the Creole Petroleum Corporation 1956. Text in Spanish. Full color one sheet map measures 65 x 108 cm folding to 22 x 11 cm. Light wear. Includes various indexes distance chart explanation of signs and index to points of interest in Caracas. Also includes highlighted zones of oil exploration.<br /> <br /> Venezuela became an oil economy after the discovery of crude oil around 1913. During the 1920s oil production was mostly done through concessions to foreign companies. The largest of those was the Creole Petroleum Corporation an American oil company and a division of Standard Oil of New Jersey. Once the second largest oil producer in the world the company was dissolved when Venezuelan nationalized its assets along with those of other foreign oil firms on January 1 1976.<br /> <br /> At the time this map was published the U.S. introduced oil import restrictions starting with voluntary controls in 1957 and escalating to President Eisenhower's Mandatory Oil Import Program MOIP in 1959 driven by concerns that cheap foreign oil threatened U.S. national security and domestic producers. From 1962 the maximum level of imports was set at 12.2% of domestic production. The import quota was lifted in 1973 by President Richard Nixon.

1952217461952. Oil Extraction and Oil Well Fires in South Texas. Three silver gelatin black-and-white photographic prints including one gelatin silver press photo 8 x 10 in. and two photo prints from negatives 5 x 7 in. Dated 1952 and 1954. Content includes an image of a wildcat rig in Lavaca County Texas and dramatic scenes of oil well fires. All photos with extensive manuscript notations on verso including references to press filing. This small but gripping photo archive documents the volatility and danger of oil drilling operations in mid-century South Texas including one catastrophic blowout and fire. The 8 x 10 inch silver gelatin press photograph dated June 1954 and stamped "RETURN TO CHRONICLE FILES" shows a towering oil derrick rising above dense trees. The reverse identifies the location as Lavaca County and describes a wildcat operation in Hallettsville Texas where drilling reached 8000 feet. A hand-written note reads "Field Drilling Co. Ext. Exterior - cementing protective casing 10240 down to 8000 ft - Lavaca County 2 1/2 mi. N. Hallettsville."<br /> <br /> The two smaller prints-captioned in manuscript as "Oil Well Fires"-capture the momentous force of an uncontrolled eruption. One image shows a roiling column of black smoke and flame rising from a well site surrounded by distant silhouettes of onlookers. Another more closely framed emphasizes the explosive power as the plume expands over nearby treetops. A note on the verso dates one of these prints to October 1952 stating it is a "Print from Studio of late Cecil Thomson." Cecil Thomson 1881-1953 was a prolific Houston-based commercial photographer and photojournalist who operated Thomson Studio a major supplier of images to regional newspapers including the Houston Post and Houston Chronicle. His studio active from 1909 until his death in 1963 continued producing prints posthumously from its extensive negative archive making it likely these fire images were developed and distributed under the studio's imprint even if not taken by Thomson personally.<br /> <br /> All three photos are from the Houston Chronicle archives with two stamped or inscribed "Return to Chronicle Morgue." One image includes the notation "Sunday Oil - Lavaca County Wildcat." These images preserve both the ambition and peril of mid-century oil operations in Texas a period when wildcat drilling fueled economic speculation and technological innovation often with great human and environmental risk. Surface creases and light wear to edges; verso of each image shows editorial markings and annotations in grease pencil and ink. Overall very good condition. A vivid visual record of the oil industry's volatility in 1950s Texas with provenance from the Houston Chronicle press files. unknown

1845fremont1845house<p>First House edition of this famous report. 1845. Complete in original binding except for the gigantic map which is available in full size color thick glossy paper professional reproduction $25 extra if desired. Pagination: 583 pages 22 plates 4 maps all blanks present. Includes fascinating pencil diagram of oil rig on back of map. Oil rig drawing titled "Sheffield Oil Company. Warren Co. Pa." That pencil drawing is the only interior writing or ownership marking anywhere in the book. Condition is a mixed bag. Original half leather marbled boards show heavy wear and looks like they were professionally rehinged in the distant past. Binding is sound. Pages show moderate to heavy toning and foxing. Some plates have weird 'dot' foxing I have never seen elsewhere see scan. Marbled endpapers. A nice well maintained copy suitable for reading and research with a cool drawing. Howes F372; Wagner-Camp 115:2; Graff 1436. House Doc. No. 166. Feel free to inquire. Please see scans of the book you will receive. Note: the large map published in 1845 was the road map people used in the gold rush of 1849. It was routinely extracted hence its rare nature. Map is 52 x 32 inches. Furthermore I do not believe map was issued with all House editions which contributes even more to its scarcity. Map is sufficiently large that if it had ever been present there would be evidence of removal. No evidence it was ever in this volume.</p> House of Representatives. Blair and Rives. hardcover
194010977no place: ESSO / Standard Oil Company 1940. Staplebound. Fair-good. Octavo 32pp. illustrated. A fair to good copy in the publisher's stapled wraps. Page block while intact is separated from the wrappers and laid in. Some stains juvenile pencil writing and chips and short tears to extremities but a complete readable copy. A volume of recipes purportedly by "Aunt Julia" an "Aunt Jemima"-style stereotype of a Black female cook this volume was almost certainly written or compiled by white staff of the Standard Oil Company. A ehite box on the front wrap contains the details of Wisenhunt's Esso Station in Spartanburg South Carolina. Likely these kinds of cook books were sold at various Esso stations throughout the American south and elsewhere. Though probably produced in large numbers we located just a handful of separately listed holdings in OCLC. Though undated there are a few advertising images of automobiles whhich were cetainly produced before World War II. Uncommon. [ESSO / Standard Oil Company] unknown
19014229N.p. 1901. About very good. 12pp. Original printed wrappers stapled. Minor edge wear. Light toning and dust soiling. Scarce promotional for this early 20th-century New Mexico oil venture. The text contains an amusing if dangerous sounding origin story for the company in which the founding officer ignites a brook covered in a "peculiar scum" and spooks his horse. The remainder of the text contains the usual inducements to invest including various descriptions statistics analyses and endorsements. The first commercial well in New Mexico was drilled in the early twenties and we find little additional information on the Eureka Oil Company. One other copy located at SMU. unknown

Buckman 1913-1995 who at the time was stationed on the USS Northampton CL/CA 26 US Navy Cruiser sunk later in 1942 at the Battle of Tassafaronga repelling Japanese from reinforcing troops on Guadalcanal. First edition of this scarce and beautifully rendered pictorial map celebrating the very successful California Pacific International Exposition held in San Diego over two years at the depths of the Great Depression to revive the Southern California economy which featured a number of unusual concessions and exhibits such as the Gold Gulch Lost Continent of Mu the Zoro Garden Nudist Colony and the “One Ton Mechanical Man.†Several of the exhibits used at the recently closed Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago 1933-1934 were re-used for the CPIE. This map reminiscent of the work of Jo Mora looks Eastward from a high point above the Pacific Ocean depicting San Diego from La Jolla to Oneonta and inland up to Cuyamaca Dam. Many of the buildings developed the architect Requa’s 1881-1941 “Southern California Architecture†style drawing upon the historical architecture of the Colonial Mexico the Pueblos of the Southwest and the Moorish features from Spain and North Africa and preserved the popular buildings which are still evident in Balboa Park. Bloodgood 1896-1989 was an illustrator cartoonist and map maper who produced a substantial body of pictorial maps from 1935-1968 for Shell Oil and the Pic-Tour Guide Series with this one being distributed from the Shell Building exhibit at the CPIE.

1902106482<p>Rectangular 8vo 9½x5¼" pamphlet 1 11 leaves printed on rectos only original brown paper wrappers red ribbon tie at top. A little normal aging but otherwise near fine. This is an early Standard Oil piece that appears to be designed to promote the stock which according to this brochure consisted of only 2500000 shares. At the time of publication the par value was only $1 per share. The brochure discusses various oil field potential and on the inside back cover is a "no wild cat" illustration hyping the stock. This was printed well before the 1911 breakup of the company for violating the "Sherman Antitrust Act." A wonderful piece of corporate memorabilia. OCLC locates only a single copy at the University of Wyoming.</p>
1970233351970. Offshore oil rig construction photographs of marine industrial labor and heavy equipment operations at the Port of Galveston Texas undated showing how Gulf Coast petroleum infrastructure was assembled through coordinated crane work deck staging and vessel support. Made by an unidentified worker contractor or site observer with direct access to the platform and adjoining work areas the group records the operational system behind offshore petroleum expansion rather than only the finished structure: derrick components rising between lattice boom cranes machinery positioned on crowded deck surfaces workers monitoring equipment from railings and platforms and service craft moving below the job site. Within the history of Gulf Coast oil and gas development these images preserve the waterfront and offshore construction process through which drilling and extraction infrastructure entered service in one of the chief locations which allowed Texas entry into national and international trade.<br /> <br /> <br /> Photo archive of 17 silver gelatin snapshot photographs each about 3.5" x 5" also includes 18 negative images 35 mm Port of Galveston Texas circa 1960s-1970s. The prints concentrate on a single marine construction environment with repeated views of tall lattice cranes a derrick or drilling tower under assembly steel framework catwalks railings deck mounted machinery and industrial piping. Several photographs move between wide and close vantage points: one looks down onto a work deck strewn with cables drums tools and structural members; another isolates a crane boom overhead; others frame the rig against open water with a small service boat alongside. Two views show a worker in coveralls standing at the railing and looking across the site; in one image the patch on his back reads "Farmers Marine Copper Works Inc. Petro Chemical Marine Galveston Texas" directly tying the group to a named Galveston industrial contractor. Another figure in light clothing appears deeper in the structure. Interior or semi enclosed machinery views include a hopper shaped component rollers and processing equipment. The accompanying negative strips are marked and the original photo processing envelope survives with printed instructions preserving the group's original commercial processing context.<br /> <br /> <br /> Galveston's port facilities formed part of the larger Gulf Coast industrial network that supported offshore petroleum construction marine transport and heavy fabrication across the twentieth century and this group fixes that system at deck level through workers machinery staging practices and support traffic in the water below. Light wear curling and handling to prints and negatives; processing envelope creased and worn. A concise visual record of offshore oil infrastructure under construction with strong research value for petroleum history labor history and Gulf Coast industrial development showing Galveston as a site where harbor industry and offshore oil support work converged making the port a key setting for mid twentieth century energy expansion.<br /> l. unknown
