4/18/1906 SAN FRANCISCO EARTHQUAKE  ~ Original

AN  Original newspaper published by THE OAKLAND HERALD ~  WEDNESDAY ~ APRIL 18, 1906.  THE OAKLAND HERALD  EXTRA

Written in pencil ~ by the the original owner ~ in the top border of the newspaper above the word OAKLAND is "about noon".

The headlines read:  400 PERSONS KILLED IN SAN FRANCISCO HORROR

The two bylines read: 

  Noon edition since one of the articles just below the headlines starts out:  SAN FRANCISCO, April 18, 11 a.m. The loss of life, as a result of the earthquake, will reach between 300 and 400. 

  It does show wear.  It has turned brown with age.  There are splits in the seam where it was folded.   

This newspaper has to have been one of the very first published after the quake hit! 

It is an original (not a reproduction).

                Here is the complete, genuine issue of THE CALL--CHRONICLE--EXAMINER newspaper from San Francisco, California, dated April 19, 1906. This is a terrific & very historic newspaper--the very best to be had on this event! Destined to be--if not already--one of the premiere issues of the early 20th century. See the photos below for the great headlines and reports found on the front page. Due to the destruction of the presses in San Francisco, these three separate and competing newspapers combined under one masthead for this issue, printing the paper of this date across the bay on the presses of the Oakland Tribune. This issue is noteworthy in containing no advertisements but rather is replete in its four pages with reports on the earthquake and fire. Plus banner headlines on pages 2, 3 and 4: "At Least 500 Are Dead" "Entire City of San Francisco In Danger of Being Annihilated" "Panic-Stricken People Flee" "Loss Is $200,000" along with many, many large-type one column headlines. Also worth noting is the missing dateline at the top of page 3 as this page is actually the same as the Oakland Tribune edition of April 18--they used it over again for this San Francisco issue. A very rare and unusual find and a significant addition to any newspaper collection--guaranteed genuine. Browning at the central fold and some of the margins, some minimal loss at the spine margin. Terrific for display! . The issue measures about 17 by 22 1/2 inches. Photo is not the best. San Fran Quake

Virtually the entire front page of this tabloid-size newspaper is taken up with a great photo of the Lusitania, with a small caption at the bottom beginning: 'Without warning the famous Cunarder Lusitania was torpedoed off the Irish coast yesterday. She sank in eight minutes...' Nice banner headline across the top reads: 'Giant Cunarder Crowded With Passengers Callously Sunk Without Warning Off The Irish Coast' with an even bolder heading above the masthead, as seen. Considerable coverage inside, including four full pages filled with 24 photos of the ship, its passengers, etc., including the entire back page. A 16 page issue in nice condition & great for display.

This is: Original “Death Comes To Buffalo Bill At Age Of 70 Years” Newspaper article. This is a newspaper with the date of Wednesday Evening, January 10, 1917, THE SAME DAY OF HIS DEATH  It consists of 8 pages. The front page features the article about the passing of “Buffalo Bill” William Frederick Cody. The article has a summary of Bills exploits & career highlights & also tells of his last days in Denver Colorado at his sisters home. This newspaper also has some other interesting articles about WW1 and such. The Atlanta Journal was the forerunner of today’s AJC newspaper. Very intriguing topics here.

The condition is: Good to very good. The paper features the typical “yellowing” or slight discoloration of paper items of this era. There is very little damage other than that; tears around the fringe are typical & tiny. Some isolated bend marks. The Buffalo Bill article itself is excellent.
