EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print transports us back in time to the bustling city of Baku in the late 19th or early 20th century. The image showcases an essential aspect of the oil industry - transporting naptha by camel. In this vibrant scene, we witness a caravan of camels gracefully navigating through the streets of Baku, laden with tanks filled with precious naptha. These majestic animals, symbols of resilience and endurance, play a crucial role in moving this valuable resource from one location to another. The composition is rich in detail, allowing us to observe every element that contributes to this intricate process. A Russian derrick stands tall against the backdrop, emphasizing Russia's influence on Azerbaijan's flourishing oil industry during that era. As we delve deeper into this artwork, it becomes evident that it serves not only as a visual delight but also as an educational tool. It offers insights into petroleum extraction and transportation methods employed at that time while shedding light on the journey taken by these vital resources in their quest for global distribution. Through this magnificent piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported across continents and immersed in the fascinating world of petrochemicals and travel within the Caucasus region. It reminds us of how art can capture historical moments and provide invaluable glimpses into our past.
