Title

English: Seattle fire of June 6, 1889, about one-half hour after the fire started.

Description

English: Looking south on 1st Ave. from Spring St. Minneapolis Art Studio (photo studio) at right.

There seems to be some question of the authorship of this photo.

Seattle Public Library attributes it to Theodore E. Peiser .
Museum of History and Industry gives no attribution
University of Washington Library, in its Asahel Curtis Collection attributes a cropped version to * Asahel Curtis ; he is probably responsible for printing that crop, but not for the original photo, taken when he was about 15 years old.
University of Washington Library, in its Boyd and Braas Collection, attributes it to William F. Boyd .

The Boyd and Peiser attributions are both plausible.
