EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to 19th century London, specifically Old Fish Street Hill, where the Monument to the Great Fire stands tall. The image showcases members of the London Fire Brigade, a group of brave firefighters who were instrumental in protecting the city from devastating fires during this era. The scene depicts a large procession of mature and mid-adult men marching proudly along the street. Dressed in their distinctive uniforms, these firemen exude a sense of duty and determination as they make their way through the urban landscape. The historic buildings lining both sides of the road serve as a backdrop for this remarkable moment captured by Ken Welsh. The Monument to the Great Fire dominates the composition with its grandeur and significance. Erected to commemorate one of London's most catastrophic events -the Great Fire that ravaged much of the city in 1666- it stands as an enduring symbol of resilience and rebirth. Through this beautifully illustrated pencil drawing, we are transported back in time to witness not only an important piece of London's history but also glimpse into daily life during Victorian times. It is images like these that allow us to appreciate how far we have come while honoring those who dedicated themselves to keeping our cities safe from harm.
