EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Bernhardt, Sarah, in carriage in San Francisco after the earthquake and fire of 1906,' captures the iconic French actress Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923), also known as "La Divine Sarah," as she makes her way through the devastated streets of San Francisco following the catastrophic earthquake and fire that struck the city on April 18, 1906. The image, created by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, depicts Bernhardt seated in a carriage, dressed in elegant clothing, including a high-collared blouse, long skirt, and a wide-brimmed hat, as she gazes out at the destruction surrounding her. The photograph, taken in the aftermath of the disaster, offers a poignant glimpse into the resilience and determination of the people of San Francisco during this dark period in American history. The nitrate negative, which is now held in the Library of Congress, captures the somber mood of the scene, with the damaged buildings and empty streets providing a stark contrast to the opulence of Bernhardt's attire. The photograph is a testament to the power of art to capture history and the human spirit in the face of adversity.
