Description:
Hand color tinted photograph archaically matted in original pie crust gesso frame. Photograph: 17x42.5 cm (6¾x16¾").
The photographer Arnold Genthe caught an iconic image of the smoldering ruins of the city framed in these pillars. The portals in San Francisco became an emblem of the loss of an era in the city before the rebuilding began. They were placed on the edge of the diminutive Lloyd Lake in Golden Gate Park in 1909 as a remembrance when the original location was cleared of rubble. Includes printed facsimile of signatures on the original backing c. 1918.
