Description
A street in Chinatown with three young pig-tailed girls walking down the sidewalk, away from the camera. A number of people, some Asian-Americans, some white, walk up and down the street. Signs and awnings hang from store windows and a clock tower rises above the scene in the background. The caption reads: "This photograph was made the week when the city was destroyed by the great earthquake."
