Description
This hand-colored stereograph card features two nearly identical, side-by-side rectangular photographs with rounded corners, mounted on a light-brown, pebble-textured cardboard backing. The image displays a residential street scene featuring a large, multi-story home with tan walls and a red-tiled roof. The building shows visible signs of earthquake damage, including shifted sections and structural cracks. In the foreground, a paved street is flanked by a stone-topped wall and an ornate dark metal fence. Several figures in dark clothing are walking along the sidewalk. A tall utility pole stands on the sidewalk in front of the house, and a horse-drawn carriage is partially visible on the far right. Small, light-colored text printed at the bottom right of the photographs reads: "No. 1019. The Beautiful Homes on Pacific Ave., damaged by Earthquake, San Francisco, April 18, 1906.". Below the mounted stereograph, a gray and black color calibration scale is visible within the frame.
