Cover Picture

Photograph of damage to 18th Street near Howard St. in San Francisco due to the 1906 earthquake. This photograph, from the archives of the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory was one of many taken by H.C. Branner in his efforts to document the effects of the quake for the Report of the State Earthquake Investigation Commission
