EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the devastating impact of the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, as seen through the readings on a seismograph taken from the Omori Horizontal pendulum at Birmingham. The earthquake, which occurred on April 18th, measured 7.9 on the richter scale and was one of the most destructive in California's history.
The tremors shown in this image highlight the severity of the disaster that struck San Francisco, resulting in the loss of over 3000 lives and more than 300,000 homes. The city was left in ruins as fires raged through its streets following the initial quake.
The date noted on this photograph is April 28th, just ten days after the earthquake hit. The chaos and destruction caused by this natural disaster are evident in these seismograph readings, serving as a stark reminder of nature's power to wreak havoc on human civilization.
