The cover image of the Souvenir View Book of the Chelsea Ruins shows smoke clouds billowing over a harbor filled with ships. On the near side of a row of homes, crowds watch the fire. The views on the inside of the books show ruins of churches, homes, factories and even fire-fighting equipment among other scenes.
