(SOUTHERN MONTANA OIL COMPANY) LUCIER, A G [photographer]Biblio.com

Panoramic Photograph Entitled- "Southern Montana Oil Co. Elk Basin Oil Field Photo by Lucier Powell Wyo. April 1 1917.".

191775579Powell WY: Southern Montana Oil Company. 1917. Original silver gelatin photograph measuring measuring 39 x 10 inches caption in the plate in white. Small stain to the blank upper margin else very good.First of all we have to love this photograph for having a man with his arms outspread placed in the very middle of the image. It bespeaks a person very exalted to be present in a deserted and beautiful landscape. Southern Montana Oil Company incorporated on October 30 1916 and had established offices in Missoula Montana by 1917. All of its directors came from Anaconda a region known for its copper deposits. The directors I.W. Walker A.F. Mavity R.A. Cobban F. Shannon and T.P. Stewart decided to pursue petroleum riches in southern Wyoming.By April 1917 the new exploration company was drilling wells in the Elk Basin oilfield which crosses the state line between Carbon County Montana and Park County Wyoming. The giant Elk Basin field has a dramatic history of its own as noted in First Wyoming Oil Wells. Southern Montana Oil successfully completed a well that produced 25 barrels of oil a day.y November 1917 company manager George L. Means reported to Colorado’s Fairplay Flume newspaper that drilling operations were getting underway on eight 40-acre tracts near Meeteetse Wyoming once a hideout for outlaw Butch Cassidy. Drilling commercially successful wells proved elusive however and by 1921 Southern Montana Oil Company stock was offered at only two cents per share. After the company failed its stock was described in subsequent inheritance litigation as valueless.The photographer A. G. Lucier was one of the first in the area. He opened his photography studio in Powell in 1909. He was later hired by Tex Holms to be the photographer of his famous 18-day tours of Yellowstone Park. He was also published heavily in the local paper the Powell Tribune. He also tried his hand at motion pictures filming 25000 feet of film at the Pine Ridge Agency. For his work in the Elk Basin Columbia University sent him a congratulatory and flattering letter. By 1920 he and his wife had set up a stand near the current Buffalo Bill Visitor's center and sold photographs of the dPark and it fauna andflora to tourists. Southern Montana Oil Company. unknown

[ANGLO-PERSIAN OIL COMPANY - PHOTOGRAPHS]. [CHAPPELL, Henry Pegg (photographer)].Biblio.com

A Christmas pilgrimage to the Anglo-Persian Oil Co. in Persia made by P.B.C. S.C. H.P.C.

1931ABC_46004Greece Palestine Iran Iraq Egypt 1931. Oblong photograph album 20.5 x 32 cm. With 72 sepia photographs ca. 6 x 8.5 cm. Album of personal photographs commemorating a journey in 1931-1932 to the oilfields in modern Iran and Iraq by a trio of travellers which included the Reverend Philip "Tubby" Clayton 1885-1972 the founder of the Toc H movement. Several photographs show Galilee Jerusalem Rutbah Wells Ar-Rutbah and about 10 show "fields" mostly the main oilfield at Masjed Soleyman and its gas separator.In 1931 Clayton was invited by the director of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company the predecessor of the British Petroleum Company "to inspect the work among the Company units in Persia and the Middle East generally" Harcourt. Accompanied by two friends he travelled by plane train and boat to Lake Tiberias and further by plane to Rutbah Wells a British airfield where the group spent Christmas Eve with British Dutch and German travellers. On Christmas Day they reached Abadan and from there visited the oilfields near Tehran Ahvaz Haftkel Mohammerah Basra and Masjed Soleyman. After a journey to Cairo and Alexandria they boarded an oil tanker for the return journey to Britain. This journey inspired Clayton to plead passionately for improvements to the life of the crews of oil tankers. He described "carrying oil by sea" as "the most lonely job on the world's waters" Clayton. In 1940 he became chaplain of Anglo-Saxon Petroleum's tanker fleet and would subsequently sail on multiple tankers.The photographs must have been taken by Henry Pegg Chappell 1909-1997 since the other members appear he is the only member not present in the photographs and he does not and only Clayton who completed the journey by oil tanker. A carbon copy of a typed list describing all photographs is inserted in the album. Since typed and handwritten additions to the carbon paper refer to Clayton in the third person he probably typed the original list and gave Chappell this carbon copy to insert in his album.With an inscription probably by the three travellers on the title page. Binding slightly worn at the extremities. Paperclip and staple on the typescript rusted. In very good condition.l Clayton "In a tanker" in: The Times 9 March 1932 p. 15; Harcourt The impudent dreamer pp. 216-219. unknown
