SAN FRANCISCO EARTHQUAKE AND FIRE OF 1906
sfearthquake06.dfsonline.org

This website is a family album of photographs of the aftermath fire and earthquake taken by my grandfather, Frederick H. Brinckmann (1873-1931).  The photos were scanned from the original 4 x 5 negatives and some of them show incredible detail.  I still have the camera with which they were taken, an Ansco Number 5.
