Gas Pump on Route 80, West of Waskom in Waskom, Texas

by John Margolies

Take a step into the silent past of the road with the Gas Pump on Route 80, West of Waskom, Texas by John Margolies. Known for his ability to capture the spirit of mid-century Americana, Margolies draws attention to the striking difference between a peeling white steel mechanical gas pump and weathered wooden porch of East Texas. Adorned with a bright red "Regular" sign, mechanical analog gauges, and a slight patina of rust, this photograph is a tribute to the overlooked gems of American highway culture.

An essential print for enthusiasts of American photography of the 20th century.
