In this children’s book, Harriet Russell describes the role of oil in daily life through drawings, hand-lettered text, and humour. She also suggests alternatives to this rapidly diminishing resource.
Endangered Species was a special commission created for the Canadian Centre for Architecture, in conjunction with their exhibition catalogue 1973: Sorry Out of Gas.
