Arnold was a German-born American photographer best known for his<br />

photographs of the inhabitants of San Francisco’s Chinatown, capturing<br />

everything from the architecture, to the children and even further at<br />

the bottom, the drug addicts that lived there. He resided in San Fransisco<br />

between 1895-1911. He is also known for his portraits of politicians,<br />

socialites, literary figures and entertainment celebrities. The devastating<br />

San Fransisco earthquake of April 18, 1906, destroyed nearly 80% of<br />

the town and killing over 3000 people. Devastating fires broke out and<br />

lasted for several days. Arnold’s photography studio was destroyed,<br />

and most of his work to date was lost in the fires. His photograph, Looking<br />

down Sacramento St. 1906, is one of his most famous photographs.<br />

(See left)<br />

Nearly 20,000 of his photos were unclaimed at his studio at the time of<br />

his death at the age of 73. The Library of Congress acquired these and<br />

approximately 16,000 are now an electronic collection online featuring his<br />

portrait work, world travel photos, and his study of colour autochromes.<br />
