The Spindletop Boom at its Peak
It might look chaotic, but the wild "anything goes" days were already history.
The biggest players had sat down the previous summer and hammered out some rules for Big Hill.
Among those rules:
No smoking would be done within a hundred feet of any oil pool or producing well.
No lantern, torch or candle would be taken within twenty feet of an open tank.
No saloon would be operated within 1000 feet of any oil well...and nothing stronger than beer would be served.
No matches. Period.
Physical Details
- 24 by 18 inches
- Limited Edition of 254 Copies
- Each one is hand-numbered
This is a high quality Giclee print on old-world style heavy weight, acid free, cold press watercolor paper. Each one is individually hand-numbered. The 'felt finished' surface allows the inks to 'bite', reproducing the shading and tonality of the original image vividly, beautifully, and exactly.
These inks are guaranteed color-fast for 80 years, which means you won't need to lay out the extra money for UV glass. You can hang your print in direct sun and it will be just as bright when they are passed on to the next generation as a family heirloom as it is the day it ships.
All you need to do choose any standard 18 by 24 inch frame from your local frame shop.
Like all prints in this series, it is a Limited Edition of only 254 hand-numbered, one for each county in Texas.
It's an instant heirloom.
