This chromolitho print titled "Oil wells of Baku" takes us on a visual journey to the bustling oil fields of Azerbaijan in the late 19th or early 20th century. The European School artist skillfully captures the essence of this vibrant industry, showcasing the hardworking laborers and towering derricks that dominated the landscape. The image transports us to a time when Baku was at the forefront of petroleum production, with its vast oil reserves fueling industrial progress. It serves as an educational tool, shedding light on the significance of this region and its contribution to global energy supply. The composition is rich in detail, allowing us to observe workers diligently tending to their tasks amidst plumes of smoke and machinery. Their resilience and dedication are evident as they navigate through this challenging profession. As we delve into this historical scene, it becomes apparent that this chromolitho print not only celebrates human ingenuity but also highlights cultural diversity.
