Stereoscopic photograph, "San Fernandino Oil Regions, California," by an unidentified photographer under the "Stereoscopic Views" series, 1870s. The image is a closeup of what appears to be surface oil seepage in a canyon in what is now the Santa Clarita area north of Los Angeles. This region is where F. P. F. Temple pursued petroleum prospecting in the mid-1870s. With surface soiling, stains, edge wear, and acid burns on the reverse, the overall condition is good.Lexicon
