EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image captured in the aftermath of the devastating San Francisco earthquake of April 1906, we witness a photographer and his assistant bravely documenting the destruction on California Street. The photograph, taken with a large format camera, showcases their dedication to capturing history as they navigate through the ruins of Nob Hill. The scene is one of chaos and despair; buildings reduced to rubble line both sides of the street. A once bustling city now stands eerily silent, its streets devoid of pedestrians. The sepia-toned print adds an air of nostalgia, transporting us back to the turn of the century when such calamities were documented with painstaking precision. With their tripod firmly planted amidst the debris, these men epitomize early photography's commitment to truth-telling. Their presence signifies not only a desire to record but also serves as a testament to human resilience in times of adversity. This stereograph print transports us back over a century ago when San Francisco was shaken by nature's wrath. It reminds us that even in moments where everything seems lost, there are those who rise above destruction and dedicate themselves to preserving memories for future generations.
