Description
Photograph of San Francisco earthquake damage, showing the start of the great fire, 1906. A sea of rooftops stands across the cityscape with a group of men viewing the earthquake damage from a roof at center. A tall building frame stands on the left, apparently under construction. A wall of dark smoke churns in the background. The entire city in front of it will be destroyed. Note: image CHS-45954A shows writing on the back of image CHS-43954.
