WORDEN, Willard E. (1868 - 1946). San Francisco Earthquake Photograph. San Francisco, ca. 1906. Silver gelatin photograph of the three-day earthquake in San Francisco, smoke and debris floating in the air above the city. Mounted on cardstock, framed. Credited in the negative. Gilt plaque with title and year of photograph. 7 ? x 9?. Not examined out of frame. Very good. Willard E. Worden quickly became a prominent photographer of the California landscape after his move to San Francisco in 1901, eventually capturing the 1915 World?s Fair. By photographing architecture, neighborhoods, and the reconstruction of his city, Worden?s images have become canonized depictions of early 20th century California.
