[Postcard. Unused] Photo of "After the Earthquake, San Francisco"
Language: English
Published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art [Undated], [New York]
Manuscript / Paper Collectible
No Binding. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Genthe,Arnold (1869-1942) (illustrator). Postcard. Postally unused. 14 x 9 cm. Divided back. A photographic plate. The Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906 Date: Wednesday, April 18, 1906, at 5:12 AM PST. Magnitude: Estimated at 7.9, with some estimates ranging up to 8.25. Cause: A rupture along the San Andreas Fault. Impact: The earthquake and subsequent fires killed an estimated 3,000 people and left a large portion of the city destroyed. Damage: Over 80% of San Francisco was destroyed, with more than 28,000 buildings razed by fire. The disaster caused extensive damage, homelessness, and a significant diversion of economic activity and population growth towards Los Angeles. San Francisco rebuilt quickly, largely completed by 1915, and the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in 1915 celebrated the city's recovery. The photographer, Arnold Genthe, was born in Berlin, Prussia, was a classically trained scholar; received a doctorate in philology in 1894 from the University of Jena, where he knew artist Adolph Menzel, his mother's cousin. After immigrating to San Francisco in 1895 to work as a tutor for the son of Baron and Baroness J. Henrich von Schroeder, he taught himself photography. He was intrigued by the Chinese section of the city and photographed its inhabitants, from children to drug addicts, due to his subjects' possible fear of his camera or their reluctance to have pictures taken, Genthe sometimes hid his camera. He also sometimes removed evidence of Western culture from these pictures, cropping or erasing as needed. About 200 of his Chinatown pictures survive, and these comprise the only known photographic depictions of the area before the 1906 earthquake. After local magazines published some of his photographs in the late 1890s, he opened a portrait studio. He knew some of the city's wealthy matrons, and as his reputation grew, his clientele included Nance O'Neil, Sarah Bernhardt, Nora May French, and Jack London. In 1904 he traveled to Western Europe and Tangier with the famous watercolorist, Francis McComas. In 1906, the San Francisco earthquake and fire destroyed Genthe's studio, but he rebuilt. His photograph of the earthquake's aftermath, Looking Down Sacramento Street, San Francisco, April 18, 1906, is his most famous photograph. Within a short time, Genthe joined the art colony in Carmel-by-the-Sea, where he fraternized with the literary elite, including George Sterling, Jack London, Harry Leon Wilson, Ambrose Bierce, and Mary Austin. Here he was able to pursue his work in color photography. His lived in Carmel 1905-07, then established his residence and studio at 3209 Clay Street in San Francisco. In 1911 he moved to New York City, where he remained until his death of a heart attack in 1942. He worked primarily in portraiture, and Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and John D. Rockefeller all sat for him. His photos of Greta Garbo were credited with boosting her career. He also photographed dancers, including Anna Pavlova, Isadora Duncan, Audrey Munson, Helen Moller and Ruth St. Denis, and his photos were featured in the 1916 book, The Book of the Dance. Genthe was an early adopter of the autochrome color photography process. He began experimenting with the process in 1905 in Carmel, California. He was one of the earliest exhibitors of color photographs in America.
