EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled 'A Large Fire in Clerkenwell, London, October 1885,' is a striking depiction of a moment during a devastating fire that ravaged the Clerkenwell area of London. The image captures the intensity and chaos of the firefighting efforts as a large section of a burning wall suddenly collapses, sending firemen scrambling for safety. The fire, which began on the evening of October 17, 1885, quickly spread and engulfed numerous buildings in the densely populated Clerkenwell neighborhood. The cause of the fire remains unclear, but it is believed to have started in a stable or barn on Saffron Hill. Despite the best efforts of the fire brigade, the blaze continued to grow and spread, fueled by the close proximity of the buildings and the volatile materials stored within them. The image shows the determination and bravery of the firemen as they work to contain the flames, but also highlights the danger they faced in the unpredictable and volatile environment. The collapse of the wall in this moment would have been a terrifying sight for those on the ground, and likely caused panic among the firefighters and onlookers. The importance of this historical image lies not only in its documentation of the event itself, but also in the insights it provides into the conditions and challenges faced by firefighters during this time period. This engraving, from the Illustrated London News, is a valuable record of a significant event in London's history and a testament to the heroism and resilience of those who worked to contain the fire and protect the community.
