Negative with four images of oil field activities. The images were taken in the winter with snow on the ground of servicing a well with horses. The top left image shows the team of two horses pulling the pipe from the well with three men working. The top right is a man at the top of a three pole derrick with the team of two horses beside. The bottom right image is the man being lowered by a cable from the top of the derrick. The bottom left image looks like the men are warming up around a smoking barrel under the derrick. |
