EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of the Birmingham Fire Brigade from the late 19th century, as captured by The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. This vintage photograph, hailing from the Edwardian era of the early 20th century, offers a glimpse into the past when firefighting was a more manual and community-driven endeavor. The image showcases a group of brave firefighters gathered around a horse-drawn fire engine, ready to respond to an emergency call. The fire engine, adorned with intricate details and bold lettering, is a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. The firefighters, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, exude a sense of determination and camaraderie as they prepare to hitch the horses to the engine. The lantern slide, an early form of photographic projection, adds an extra layer of intrigue to this historical image. It is believed that lantern slides were used for educational and entertainment purposes during the 19th and early 20th centuries. This photograph, with its rich detail and captivating story, would have made for an engaging presentation during that era. As we admire this photograph, we are reminded of the courage and resilience of the firefighters of the past, who risked their lives to protect their communities with the limited resources they had. This image is not only a testament to the history of firefighting but also a reminder of the importance of community spirit and the human connection that drives us to come together in times of need.
