Description
Photograph of San Francisco earthquake damage, showing Market Street from Montgomery, 1906. A man in a dark suit and hat stands near a pile of rubble at center while others walk down the street toward the cloud of dust in the background. Skyscrapers line the street on either side with pieces of their exterior walls flooding the sidewalks. Although several electrical poles and lamp posts appear to be leaning, they all are still standing and in tact.
