Légende

Newhall House Hotel Fire, Wisconsin, Milwaukee, United States, 1883. Hotel built in 1856 by merchant Daniel Newhall. In the early hours of 10 January 1883, fire broke out in the elevator shaft and raced upward through the entire building before guests could escape. The hotel register was destroyed, so it is not known exactly how many people were staying that night. At least seventy-six bodies were pulled from the charred remains over the next few days. From "La Ilustración Española y Americana" (The Spanish and American Illustration), 1883.
