1. Title: Oil Derricks at Binagadi, North of Baku, Armenia: A Testament to Industry Amidst War, August 1918 2.. This evocative photograph captures the Oil Derricks at Binagadi, located north of Baku, Armenia, towards the end of the First World War in August 1918. The image offers a glimpse into the remarkable resilience and adaptability of industry during a time of global conflict. The wooden derricks, with their tall, slender structures reaching towards the sky, stand as a testament to the importance of oil production during this period. The Great War had a profound impact on the world's energy landscape, with oil becoming an essential fuel for the war effort. The oil fields of Baku, located in what is now Azerbaijan, were a significant source of this vital resource. Despite the ongoing war, the oil industry continued to operate in Binagadi, with workers climbing the rickety ladders of these derricks to extract crude oil. The image reveals the harsh realities of wartime conditions, with the oil derricks seemingly isolated amidst the barren, rocky landscape. The photograph, taken by Robert Hunt, provides a poignant reminder of the interconnectedness of war and industry, as well as the human determination to persevere and maintain essential services even in the most challenging of circumstances.
