This original vintage postcard from 1906 features the iconic St. Francis Hotel and Union Square in San Francisco, California. Captured just before the devastating earthquake and fire on April 18th, 1906, this postcard preserves a rare glimpse of a landmark that was entirely destroyed in that historic event. The black and white image highlights the stately architecture of the hotel and the surrounding square, including a prominent column with a statue atop, set against the city's early 20th-century skyline.Printed by Scovill Post Card Co., this postcard measures approximately 3.5 x 5.5 inches and uses the undivided back format typical of the era (1901-1907). The back features ornate typography indicating postage rates of one cent domestic and two cents foreign, adding to its period authenticity. Collectors of historical San Francisco memorabilia or early American postcards will appreciate the postcard's historical significance and its connection to one of the most impactful natural disasters in U.S. history.
