Description
Photograph of Venice oil wells, [s.d.]. Numerous oil derricks can be seen behind a cluster of parked automobiles and a large crane. The sign on the back of the crane reads, "Owl Truck Co". Clouds of what appears to be smoke or steam rise prominently from the bases of many of the oil derricks. Sparse desert brush can be seen in the foreground.
