Description
Photograph of San Francisco earthquake damage, showing people walking amidst the rubble, 1906. Groups of people walk down the crowd which extends from the left foreground to the center distance. Bricks have spilled over the sidewalk into the road in the foreground on the right. Most of the buildings on the right have crumbled behind a row of electrical poles. A tower still stands on the left and several skyscrapers stand in a cloud of dust in the background.
