1906 San Francisco Earthquake: Vintage Photographs of Earthquake Sites

1906 San Francisco Earthquake: Vintage Photographs of Earthquake Sites at Stephen Wirtz Gallery in San Francisco, CA. "...1906 San Francisco Earthquake: Vintage Photographs of Earthquake Sites presents a collection of photographs of scenes of destruction left in the aftermath of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake taken both during and after the subsequent fire that caused widespread destruction of the city. Noteworthy about this collection is that the photographs are almost exclusively the work of a number of fine professional photographers who were living in the city at the time and speak directly to the high level of individuality and experimentation of photographers working in San Francisco at the turn of the century, a distinction that continues in San Francisco today. These works present signature points of view and confident artistic expressions in addition to serving as documents of historical record."
