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.

50529New York: by the Company ca 1944. 16mo. Staple-bound pamphlet; printed self-wrappers; 8pp; illus. Very Good. Reprinted from The Lamp.

1902370Chicago 1902. Very good. Folded broadsheet 28 x 18.75 inches with several photographic reproductions. A couple of small separations along folds. A very scarce promotional from the early Wyoming oil boom. The Chicago firm of Charles O. Richardson here urges potential investors to "Get in at Bed Rock" and in particular promotes Richardson's interests in the Spring Valley Wyoming oil fields. Both sides of the large broadsheet reproduce numerous newspaper articles reporting new oil strikes across the state most in the area of Evanston with the dates and locations of the articles added in manuscript. Serious efforts to find oil began in Wyoming after statehood in 1890 with the first major oil boom not hitting until 1908; the present broadsheet therefore represents a rare and fascinating advertisement for the early industry in the state. OCLC locates only three copies at Yale the University of Oklahoma and SMU. unknown books

1948BB.23.032<em><strong>Silver prints 158; 3 x 5 and 7 x 9 inches; Some with identifying locations recto and others with photographer's hand stamp verso.</strong></em> This compelling photo album compiled between 1948 and 1957 offers a view into the rapid development of roadside infrastructure that took place in California during the transformative period of post-war prosperity.<br /><br />As California experienced a surge in car ownership and a growing reliance on automobiles for transportation the need for accessible and conveniently located gas stations became increasingly apparent. The album shows how Associated Oil Company by this time a subsidiary of Tidewater Oil owned by Getty strategically positioned their now-iconic "Flying A" gas stations to cater to the burgeoning market up and down the West Coast. This album presents prospective locations some depicted with realtors' advertising boards scenes of construction and improvements and views of recently completed service stations spanning from the Southern Bay Area to Los Angeles.<br /><br />The album is mostly un-captioned with just a few prints having notations on the rectos but many scenes are identifiable by the signage of local businesses and vehicles or the sharp and visible street-signs. Some identifiable locations include: San Jose Saratoga Los Gatos San Marino Canoga Avenue in Woodland Hills and Nordhoff & Terra Bella Streets in Los Angeles among numerous others.<br /><br />A fantastic album which captures the relationship between changing consumer needs swiftly-increasing land development and the iconic roadside gas stations that have become synonymous with California's roadside landscape.
