EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a piece of history - the Metallic Fire Engine designed by Merryweathers for use on plantations in Fiji during the early 20th century. This basic yet innovative manual fire-engine was operated by hand, with handles that allowed workers to pump water and combat fires effectively. The design of this metallic engine speaks volumes about the ingenuity and craftsmanship of its creators.
In a time when accidents caused by fires were all too common, this fire engine played a crucial role in protecting lives and property on plantation grounds. Its presence would have provided peace of mind to those working in such hazardous conditions, knowing they had a reliable tool at their disposal in case of emergency.
The historical significance of this piece cannot be understated - it represents a time when technology was still evolving, but already making a profound impact on everyday life. As we look back on images like these from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are reminded of the progress made over the years in ensuring safety and security for all. Let us appreciate the craftsmanship and dedication that went into creating such an essential piece of equipment for firefighting purposes.
