This vintage postcard features a striking image of rows of oil well pumps located in the Huntington Beach area of Southern California, along U.S. 101 between Long Beach and Newport Harbor. The photograph captures the unique industrial landscape where oil well pumps rhythmically lift oil from a vast tideland pool beneath the ocean floor. The bright blue sky and numerous pumps create an iconic scene emblematic of California's oil industry heritage.Printed using the "Plastictone" technique by Californian-based publisher Golden West, this postcard showcases a colorful and detailed view of a historically significant region. The card is an original color photograph taken by George Elton Watson, a noted photographer. Its standard size (5.5 x 3.5 inches) makes it a great collectible for enthusiasts of industrial history, vintage California imagery, or mid-20th century postcards. The back features descriptive text and the publisher's information, enhancing its appeal and provenance.
