Description
Photograph of San Francisco earthquake damage, showing workers eating dinner at Montgomery Street looking north from California Street, 1906. The workers sit on odd pieces of rubble in the foreground on the right as they eat their dinner. A warped pole stands near them at center. Men in suits and hats walk down the damaged streets around the workers. A building across the street from the workers on the left has boarded windows and charred walls. Debris has spilled into the street in the background on the right.
