Item # 150827

February 27, 1878

THE DAILY GRAPHIC newspaper from New York City dated Feb. 27, 1878. See the photo below for the rather large, full page print titled: "VIEWS IN OIL CITY, PA" with some of the more notable landmarks illustrated above the town view including "Collins House & Trust Co." "Oil Exchange" "Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church" "Office of the Daily Derrick" and "View of Oil City From Cottage Hill". There is a related article on this titled: "The Metropolis Of Oildom---The Rapid Growth & Present Prosperity of a Pennsylvania Oil Town" with some fine, interesting reading. A great print, measuring about 12 by 18 inches, which is nice for display!
