Description
Photograph of a panoramic view of San Francisco following the 1906 earthquake and fire, viewed from Nob Hill toward Telegraph Hill, 1906. Three women in dark dresses, hats and coats walk under the fallen electrical lines and over the crumbled bricks on the street in the foreground. Only one wall still stands complete of a large building on the right. Similar damage can be seen through the rest of the city to the top of the hill in the background on the left.
