EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view of Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA, taken circa 1940, showcases the city's mesmerizing nighttime landscape. The image offers a unique perspective of the urban expanse, with its intricate network of streets and buildings illuminated against the inky blackness of the night sky. The city's grid-like layout is accentuated by the twinkling lights of the homes and businesses, creating a stunning tableau of American urbanity. The photo, taken during the 1930s or 1940s, is a testament to the progress and growth of Tulsa during this period. The city, which was once a small oil town, had transformed into a bustling metropolis, with a thriving economy and a population of over 100,000. The image also highlights the city's impressive infrastructure, including its well-lit streets and roads, which were essential for the smooth functioning of the city. Tulsa's rich history is reflected in the various landmarks visible in the photo. The Arkansas River, which runs through the city, is clearly visible, as are several prominent buildings, such as the Tulsa City Hall and the Boston Avenue Methodist Church. The former, with its distinctive art deco design, stands out as a beacon of modernity, while the latter, with its tall spire, dominates the skyline. This aerial view of Tulsa at night is not only a beautiful work of art but also a historical document that captures the essence of a bygone era. It invites us to explore the city's past and to appreciate the evolution of American urban life.
