Disaster Pr0n, ca 1913: Omaha Tornado Disaster picture book (part 1 of 5)
Tornado season across America's Breadbasket is… heck, year-'round.
From auction – purchased along with an overloaded lot of (mostly forgettable) postcards... please feel free to share, download, copy, etc. Click on any image to enlarge.
As near as I can tell, there had once been a batch of perforated, tear-out pages loosely stitched at the front of this book, long since removed. I do not know if they were more photographs, or perhaps slips for sharing information regarding the offering of aid. Also included (albeit probably not in the original sale of this book), tucked in the back pages, was a slightly smaller set of pages of pictures, staple intact but without a cover. I will include those pictures at the tail end of this series of blog entries.
