Color Photos of San Francisco in 1906 Discovered

This is one of a cache of color photographs taken in San Francisco shortly after the great earthquake of 1906.  These are not hand colored.  They were taken with a true color technique by Frederick Ives, one of the earliest photographers to experiment with color photography.  They were recently discovered by a volunteer at the National Museum of American History.  Amazing.
