The image documents the great fire of 1906 after a 7.8 earthquake destroyed 80% of the city. The caption reads: "The Burning of San Francisco April 18, 19, 20, 1906 - The greatest conflagration in the history of the world. Over 450 square blocks were destroyed with a loss of over $500 million dollars. In the above scene the fire line is over five miles in length on the evening of the first day.
