EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable engraving titled "Fire engines" by the German School in the 19th century. Housed in a private collection, this historical piece offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of firefighting during that era. The image originates from Meyers Konversations-Lexicon, an esteemed publication from Bibliographisches Institut in Leipzig and Vienna dating back to 1897. The artwork depicts an array of steam-powered fire engines, highlighting the ingenuity and advancements made by German engineers at the time. These impressive vehicles were essential for emergency services, equipped with both petrol and steam technology to combat fires effectively. Ewald, Magirus, and Knaust are among the prominent names associated with these fire engines. As we delve into this visual narrative, it becomes evident that this engraving not only represents Germany's rich history but also reflects its contributions to European culture as a whole. The meticulous details captured within each engine exemplify German craftsmanship while emphasizing their importance in protecting communities across Northern Germany and beyond. This print serves as a testament to the significance of firefighting throughout history and pays homage to those who dedicated their lives to safeguarding others. It is through such artistic expressions that we gain insight into our past while appreciating how far we have come in ensuring public safety today.
