Description: REFINING PETROLEUM, Oil from Well to Finished Products 1950s Pictorial Article A Time-Capsule of the 1950s Two-page Pictorial - Natural Separation, As Published ~~~~~ The notion of the 1950s as happy days has lived on. Perhaps when measured against the Great Depression of the 1930s, the 2nd world war of the 1940s, the strife of the 1960s, and the malaise of the 1970s, the 1950s were indeed fabulous. Nothing better captures the 1950s better than the ubiquitous set of encyclopedias of the period, placing all of the knowledge of the world on the shelves of homes and schools. While encyclopedias have existed for around 2,000 years, it was not until the 1920s that such compendiums of knowledge became widely available to the average person. In the United States, the 1950s saw the introduction of several large popular encyclopedias, often sold on installment plans. The best known of these were World Book and Funk and Wagnalls. As many as 90% were sold door to door.

Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
