Description
Photograph of a panoramic view of San Francisco, showing the heart of the business district, 1906. A palm tree stands in the foreground on the far left with a thin path next to it leading to a row of burnt trees. Building foundations blanketed with rubble lie behind the trees. A street behind the foundations separates them from the still-standing frames of the skyscrapers across the background.
