View photographed during the Pennsylvania oil speculation boom of the 1860s showing derricks and a shack of the company near Dennis Run Creek. A man stands under one of the derricks. Uncut trees surround the well. Drilling began in Dennis Run in 1866.
Mather, an English emigre, operated a photo gallery in Titusville from 1860 to 1915. His views of the oil region and its residents constitute the most comprehensive and reproduced record of the Pennsylvania petroleum industry in the mid nineteenth century.
