EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Petroleum Oil-Wells of Baku, on the Caspian" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by William Crimea Simpson and published in The Illustrated London News on June 5th, 1886, this print offers a glimpse into the bustling industry of Azerbaijan's oil-rich region. The scene depicted showcases an array of refining works and burning apparatuses that were integral to the extraction and processing of petroleum during that era. The board is alive with activity as workers from Messers Nobel Brothers diligently carry out their tasks. In the background, caspian steamers navigate through the waters of the Caspian Sea, highlighting the importance of maritime transportation for this thriving industry. The image not only captures the industrial prowess but also emphasizes how Azerbaijan's oil wells played a pivotal role in shaping global energy markets. It serves as a testament to Baku's significance as one of the world's leading centers for petroleum production at that time. As we admire this historical artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us appreciate its ability to transport us back in time and remind us of humanity's relentless pursuit for progress and innovation.
