Description
Photograph of men serving coffee to refugees of the San Francisco earthquake and fire, April 18, 1906. A group of several men is at center, handling coffee in large steaming vats with ladles. Many people are standing around the men in the middle, separated from them by crude wooden barriers made from barrels. Inside, near the pots of coffee, several large sacks can be seen. The walls of several buildings can be seen in the background, and the cobblestone street is visible in the foreground.
