Book entitled "Souvenir Album Report of California No.3 National Association of Stationary Engineers on the San Francisco Calamity April 18-19-20 1906". It appears to be compiled several months after the earthquake. From the press of H. S. Crocker Co., San Francisco. Size is 10 1/3" x 13 3/4". It contains approx. 85 photographs of quake damage to major San Francisco buildings, with details of the damage for each. It's approx. 100 pages. The binding is somewhat loose, but functional. There are stains and wear on the cover. There is water staining throughout and worst at the back (see 4th photo). However, the images themselves are not stained, only the borders. The second last page is torn, as shown. There are even some pressed leaves in the book, which I have not removed because they (and the book) could be from 1906. I see no publication date but the text indicates that it was written several months after the earthquake.
