Color pics show San Francisco after 1906 quake
[ Thu, 10 Mar 2011 02:46:21 GMT ]

This stereo photograph provided by the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History shows a view of earthquake-damaged San Francisco captured on Oct. 6, 1906. The San Francisco Chronicle reports that such images were snapped by color photography pioneer Frederick Eugene Ives several months after the April 1906 "Great Quake." A museum volunteer has unearthed what the Smithsonian Institution believes to be the first — and perhaps only — color photographs of San Francisco after the 1906 earthquake and fire that nearly leveled the city.
