  • (Pennsylvania – Oil) Natural Gas in Pennsylvania


    Though it may not be the first thing to come to mind, Pennsylvania was where the American Oil and Gas industry got its start. This dramatic double page print specifically addresses the beginning of natural gas, with a flaming center image of “Old No. 1.”, and surrounding images showing “Murraysville”, which was the nation's first commercial gas well, as well as images of the “opening up the gas sand”, a blazing well titled “an illuminator”, as well as others.

    Condition is very good. Image size is 20.5 x 14, full hand color
