Thirteen photographic postcards depicting the aftermath of the Los Angeles Times building bombing, carried out by labor union activists on October 1, 1910.

The 1910 bombing of the Los Angeles Times building by unionists was a major criminal event in Los Angeles history, killing 21 people and injuring dozens of others. James B. and John J. McNamara, brothers and labor activists, were convicted of the bombing, which was a response to publisher Harrison Gray Otis' fierce opposition to labor unions. The explosion and fire destroyed the second Los Angeles Times building at 1st and Broadway; a third building was built in 1911 at the same location, and the fourth was completed in 1935 at 1st and Spring streets.
