Description
Photograph of a refugee camp in an open area after the earthquake, San Francisco, 1906. Finely, dressed people are scattered across the field fining shelters in tents, horse-drawn carriages and tables. Two women enjoy the shade of their umbrellas in the foreground while a young man lies in the grass beside them. Several pieces of wood have been set up with blankets to form a makeshift tent on the right.
