Beschreibung

Wraps in landscape format 24x18cm. Printed by Jarrold & Sons, Norwich. (36)pp with many b/w photos, sections, diagrams and charts. Wraps good, heavily dusted, interiors very good. It provides a 100 year view starting with its growth in 1850, and explains the technical aspects of exploration, drilling and production, refining, movement, marketing and research. It was beyond the scope of the exhibit to address presently sensitive areas such as ownership, the treatment of labour, and profit sharing, and as it turned out, was held just weeks after Iran passed legislation to nationalise the AIOC. Curiously, it was reissued shortly afterwards without mentioning the exhibition or organisers. Very rare, with Worldcat locating 3 only (British Library, NYU, NYU Abu Dhabi).
