EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "FIRE ESCAPE, 1791" takes us back to a time of danger and distress in England. The image showcases a movable balcony fire escape that was erected in 1791, serving as a lifeline for those trapped inside burning buildings. The engraving beautifully captures the architectural details of this innovative invention from the late 18th century. It depicts an exterior scene with men and women anxiously gathered around the fire escape, desperately trying to rescue those trapped inside. Firefighters can be seen valiantly battling the flames with pails of water while others operate a primitive fire engine nearby. The image evokes a sense of urgency and highlights the bravery displayed by both rescuers and victims during times of crisis. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of firefighting technology and safety measures. This historical photograph provides us with valuable insight into early firefighting techniques employed in England during this era. It is not only an artistic representation but also an important documentation of our past, shedding light on the ingenuity and resourcefulness exhibited by our ancestors when faced with life-threatening situations.
