A comprehensive survey of Arnold Genthe’s legendary photography of San Francisco’s 1906 earthquake and fire
When disaster struck San Francisco on April 18, 1906, photographer Arnold Genthe grabbed a pocket camera and ventured out to document the destruction.

For the first time ever, this important body of work is shown in its entirety with newly printed photographs from ultra-high-resolution scans created from the original negatives, an overview of Genthe’s life, a mapping of his journey on that day, and a look at the aftermath of the disaster.
