This historical photograph from the Roel Dijkstra collection takes us back to an era when gas stations exuded simplicity and character. The iconic BK LPG pump, with its classic mechanical counter and warning sign, stands prominently in the center of the image. The black-and-white composition highlights the retro aesthetics of this fuel pump, while a vintage car and a suburban neighborhood in the background add to the everyday atmosphere of the past.
In the 1960s and 1970s, LPG stations were an innovative and affordable alternative to traditional fuels, and this image perfectly captures the era when driving symbolized progress and freedom. The checkered tile flooring, metal posts, and sturdy design of the pump give this photograph an industrial charm that enhances its nostalgic appeal.
This fine art print is a tribute to Dutch automotive history and the visual power of everyday objects from the past. A unique addition for enthusiasts of retro design, industrial photography, and the iconic mid-20th-century style.
