Description
Photograph of a group of people in front of an unidentified oil field, ca.1890. A man and woman stand in the foreground, with a little boy in front of them and baby in the man's arms. Left of them, a woman and dog sit on a pile of dirt. Behind the people sits a large house-like structure surrounded by wooden oil derricks. A utility pole runs through the scene. Foliage comes in sprinklings out of the much barren ground.
