EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back to the chaotic and devastating period of the Great Fire of London in 1666. The image showcases a collection of essential fire-fighting equipment used during that time, including hand squirts, leather buckets, an axe, and a helmet - all part of the Merryweather Collection.
The historical significance of these tools is palpable as we imagine brave firefighters battling towering flames with limited resources. The leather buckets were used to transport water to douse the fires, while the hand squirts provided much-needed pressure for extinguishing flames. The sturdy axe was crucial for breaking down doors and creating firebreaks to prevent further spread.
The helmet on display serves as a reminder of the dangers faced by those who risked their lives to save others during this catastrophic event. It symbolizes resilience, bravery, and determination in the face of unimaginable destruction.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are reminded of the importance of preparedness and quick thinking in times of crisis. This print is not just a visual representation but also a poignant tribute to those who fought tirelessly against one of London's most infamous disasters.
