A Fair City’s Plight
The San Francisco earthquake and fire occurred April 18, 1906. Abraham Rueff was the political boss behind Eugene Smith, the Mayor of San Francisco at the time. Both were indicted on corruption charges in late 1906. This is a rare example of Ireland’s early work, since most was lost in the April 6, 1907 fire that destroyed the Columbus Dispatch building.
