Robert Yarnall Richie was an amazing talent who worked as a freelance commercial and industrial photographer. He used his artistic talents and the knowledge of photography, light and color along with the human element to produce some extraordinary images. Over the years Richie worked for the press, corporations and businesses between 1932 and 1975 that were located around the world.
This is the first of several sets of his work that we are going to share with you that relate to the transportation and oil industries. His work is some of the best we have seen and now, years down the road it is also useful for the documentary information it contains. All of the photos in this series were taken in the states of Texas and Oklahoma. Images courtesy of SMU Central University Libraries.
