EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion in industrial history. It depicts a notable industrial anniversary, showcasing the progress made by mankind in the early 20th century. The image is taken from "Around the World with a Camera" a publication that aimed to document various aspects of life during that time. The photograph showcases an event reminiscent of a birthday party, symbolizing the growth and success of trade and business enterprises. It highlights the importance of goods transport, corporations, and free trade in shaping our world. The candid nature of this shot adds authenticity to its depiction of historical events. In the center of attention stands Colonel Edwin L Drake, known for his significant contributions to the oil industry. He discovered crude oil in Titusville, Pennsylvania at Drake Well - an achievement that revolutionized not only America's economy but also had global implications. Surrounded by tools representative of his profession, Colonel Drake is honored on this special occasion at Woodlawn Cemetery's Drake Memorial. This commemoration pays tribute to his pioneering spirit and marks his lasting impact on society. Also present in this photograph is Henry H Rogers, who played a pivotal role as one of the key figures behind Standard Oil Co. , further emphasizing their influence within the industry. This image serves as a reminder of how far we have come since those early days when mechanics and arts were intertwined with mankind's pursuit for progress.
