Description
Photograph of a view of a Playa del Rey (Venice) oil field, ca.1925. Several dozen oil derricks can be seen at center and continue into the background. The ocean can be seen at bottom left, while small waves creep up the shore just in front of the derricks. Small buildings are visible in front of the derricks, some of which emit smoke.
