2006 marks the 100th anniversary of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and Fire. Until now, there has never been a full-color "coffee-table" book about California's greatest natural disaster, let alone one that features 3-D images of the catastrophe.
1906 San Francisco comes to life in this unique, award-winning collection of over 100 original 3D stereo photographs (viewer included) of the "City-By-The-Bay." These haunting 3-D images were created before, during, and after the earthquake and fire that destroyed 508 city blocks and left 200,000 homeless. Accompanied by firsthand accounts, newspapers, maps, and lithographs, they re-create San Francisco’s great calamity and indomitable spirit with stunning realism.
HUNDREDS OF 2- AND 3-D IMAGES.
3D VIEWER INCLUDED
