San Francisco in Ruins
San Francisco in Ruins by George Lawrence
San Francisco in Ruins Recreation by The George Lawrence San Francisco Aerial Panoramic Project
A few weeks after San Francisco’s fabled 1906 earthquake, Chicago photographer George Lawrence took this classic photograph of a destroyed San Francisco using a panoramic camera suspended above San Francisco Bay by a series of kites.
Years later (date?) The George Lawrence San Francisco Aerial Panoramic Project re-shot the image from the exact spot the original was taken using a hand-built replica of George Lawrence’s camera and this time suspended from a helicopter.
