The six new images were taken by the innovative photography Frederick Eugene Ives months several years after April 1906 "Great Quake", San Francisco Chronicle reported. Most were taken from the roof of the hotel where Ives Stayed during a visit in October 1906.

They are at the heart of other items donated Ives's son, Herbert, and discovered in 2009, the National Museum of American History volunteers Anthony Brooks when he was cataloging a collection.

Although the hand-colored photographs reveal the earthquake destroyed before the work of Ives is probably the only real color of the documentary evidence, Shannon Perich, combined with the Smithsonian's curator of photography in the history of the collection, told the Chronicle.
