Original Scrapbook/Photo Album Kept by Survivor of San Francisco Earthquake 1906

Description

A sensational scrapbook kept by a survivor of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake.
A blow-by-blow account of the earthquake and its aftermath clipped from the pages of local papers, along with extensive clippings from a contemporary souvenir book of halftone photograph reproductions, as well as
15 original
sepia toned photographs (a majority of these are likely commercial prints, though several, including an evocative, notated image of a street stove, are almost certainly captured by the book's compiler or a friend/family member).
The album measures about 13" x 9" and there are about 45 brown paper leaves with materials mounted to the rectos and versos (fronts and backs) of each ; there are a number of empty leaves towards the back of the book as well.
It appears to be lacking original outer covers but remains about very good considering age, materials of production, etc...
Material on the Earthquake is not uncommon, though a scrapbook kept by a survivor seemingly made unhoused by the disaster is something special. I have a link to dozens of additional images of the book's contents available upon request. Please don't hesitate to ask to see it (or ask anything else for that matter).
I can't nail down a name for who made this, though a pencil signature in the opening pages is clearly the last name "Tilden" and interestingly one of the clipped stories recounts the death of an H.C. Tilden, a relief worker gunned down by a group (well mob might be more appropriate) of "citizens patrol" in the immediate wake of the disaster. An interesting facet surely worthy of further research and investigation.
Cheers and thanks for looking!
