About The Book: Old Chinatown: A Book of Pictures by Arnold Genthe is a photographic record of San Francisco’s Chinatown before the 1906 earthquake. Capturing candid scenes between 1895 and 1906, Genthe’s images reveal everyday life, street activity, and cultural traditions of a community often misrepresented or overlooked. His work is notable for its artistic composition and humanizing perspective. The book preserves a vanished world, offering rare visual insight into Chinese immigrant life during a formative period in American urban history.
