Description
A black and white photograph of an oil derrick, possibly at Montebello, ca. 1920s. In view are three tall metal pipes leading from tanks, behind that is a wooden building with a slant roof and an oil derrick further back. At the far left is a portion of a parked car. Next to the tanks and metal pipes appears to be a stack of lumber. In the background is possibly the Montebello hills. There are minor stains mostly on the reverse, photographer's stamps of "VELOX" and "26." It is in good condition overall.
