2010.477.1.1Description
A real photo postcard, "Brea Oil Tank Fire," ca. 1920s. The image shows huge plumes of black smoke coming from two places and it is not possible to discern where the fire or fires was. There are some structures, including what appears to be homes, at a distance from where the photographer stood in an open field. Further in the background are some hills and a few derricks and the location is assumed to be in or near Olinda. The unused card has some light soiling, a few creases and some edge rubbing and the general condition is good.
