The black-and-white photo postcard, published by the well-known Rieder-Cardinell Company of Los Angeles and Oakland, offers a rare glimpse of the city's recovery efforts during the early 20th century.Printed in 1906, this postcard features an undivided back typical of the era (1901-1907), designed exclusively for the address. The 3.5 x 5.5 inch card is a valuable collectible piece for history enthusiasts and postcard collectors alike. Highlighting a significant California landmark and event, it provides historical and geographical significance, documenting the resilience of San Francisco and its inhabitants after one of the most tragic urban disasters in American history.
