The 1906 San Francisco Earthquake & Fire in 3-D
by David Burkhart
Stereo Views of San Francisco's Great Earthquake and Fire.
Minutes after the 1906 quake, photographers were on the scene, documenting California’s greatest natural disaster. A few had special 3-D cameras, enabling them to record the events of that fateful April in a particularly vivid and affecting medium. Their “stereo views” of the catastrophe, viewed in 3-D through a “stereoscope,” were the way in which many vicariously experienced the quake and its aftermath, from the relative comfort of their own unshaken parlors.
In the award-winning new book, Earthquake Days, the story of 1906 San Francisco is told through these rare, original 3-D images—magnificently reproduced along with firsthand accounts, vintage newspapers, lithographs, and maps—enabling the 21st-century reader to experience the earthquake and fire as never before.
Most of the stereo views in Earthquake Days are presented both as 3-D photos AND as large, 2-D photos. This huge, full-color book includes a 3-D viewer and an illustrated history of this remarkable photographic genre.
HUNDREDS OF 2- AND 3-D IMAGES
3D VIEWER INCLUDED
