  Collection of photographic postcards of the Los Angeles Times building bombing

  Visual Materials

  A group of 13 photographic postcards documenting the destruction of the Los Angeles Times building after it was dynamited on October 1, 1910, by labor union activists. Most of the photographs feature different angles of the building destruction, some with firefighter wagons, fire hoses, and smoke still visible. One photograph shows the destruction in "Ink Alley," where the bomb was set off, and another shows a printing press. An unidentified photograph appears to be of James and John McNamara and a woman standing in front of a house, possibly theirs. One of the photographs is captioned "Where first bodies were found ... raising debris to recover the dead." Some postcards have correspondence and stamps on versos.
