Superb collection of lantern slide pictures of the aftermath of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire. Manufacturers labels on a few slides, including Mcintosh Stereopticon Co. Chicago, Tho. Johnson, Salt Lake City, Detroit Photographic Co., most without maker's label. All with old hand-labeled subject captions. This lantern slide collection was the basis for the recent book "1906 - The Great San Francisco Earthquake and Fire" by Darrell Heppner (Bookman Publishing, 2005).
