Mont Pelée in eruption. A striking view of a grand column of smoke arising from the volcano. From stereo copyright by ... Underwood & Underwood.
Lettering continues: Terrible as this eruption appears, it is nothing compared to the greater outburst of lava and volcanic ash [in 1902] which swept away the city of St Pierre and destroyed its 30,000 inhabitants in an instant
