Framed collage comprising a group of early photographs documenting the aftermath of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire. The display includes multiple sepia-toned images arranged within a single mat, featuring both rectangular and circular mounts.
The photographs depict scenes of widespread destruction, including collapsed buildings, burned city blocks, and notable architectural remains such as domed civic structures. Several images include handwritten captions, with references to locations and figures, suggesting personal or family association with the events.
Central circular images show smaller vignette scenes, including figures and street views, while the surrounding photographs present broader views of urban devastation. The grouping appears to be a curated assemblage, likely created later using period photographs.
Dimensions: 20.25” x 16.25” framed. Average photo size approximately 4.75” x 3.75”
