This engraving, titled "Plan of St John's, Newfoundland, showing the Extent of the Great Fire on the 9 June" takes us back to a significant event in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a detailed visual representation of the devastating fire that engulfed St John's on that fateful day. The image showcases a meticulously drawn map of St John's and its surrounding harbors. The extent of destruction caused by the great fire is vividly depicted through darkened areas and charred buildings. This historical document serves as a testament to both the resilience and vulnerability of this Canadian city. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported to a time when Canada was still emerging as a nation in North America.

Through careful examination, one can almost feel the palpable sense of loss experienced by those affected by this catastrophe. It stands as a reminder not only of our shared human experience but also highlights how disasters have shaped our cities over time. This particular engraving was featured in The Illustrated London News on July 4th, 1846 – providing readers with an opportunity to witness firsthand accounts from across continents.
