The black and white image reveals firefighters battling the blaze with water hoses amid the ruins, offering a rare historical glimpse into one of the most devastating disasters in American history. Printed with a halftone technique typical of early 20th-century postcards, it is an authentic piece published by A. H., a publisher active during the era.Measuring approximately 3.5 x 5.5 inches, this postcard features a handwritten message along the top edge and a one-cent green Benjamin Franklin stamp postmarked August 15, 1906, from Clarion, Iowa. The postcard is addressed to Mrs. R. H. Stone in Clarion, Iowa, adding to its collectible appeal. The card's historical significance, original publisher, and period postal markings make it a valuable addition for collectors of early San Francisco memorabilia or vintage disaster postcards.
