Description
Photograph of sunken ground near a post office after an earthquake, [s.d.]. The corner of two cobblestone streets can be seen at center with faint images of people walking across them at center. Debris is piled on the right while the ground has fallen to a lower level on the left. The drop in the ground level occurs just in front of the brick post office building on the far left.
