EDITORS COMMENTS
The Fire at St John, New Brunswick: A Glimpse into Devastation". This print captures the aftermath of a catastrophic event that forever changed the landscape of St John, New Brunswick. The engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, showcases the ruins left behind by what would later be known as "The Great Fire of Saint John". As one's eyes wander through this image, they are met with a scene of utter destruction. The fire damage is evident on every corner; buildings reduced to mere skeletons and rubble scattered across King Street. The once majestic Victoria Hotel now stands as a haunting reminder of its former glory. Market Square, once bustling with life and commerce, now lies desolate amidst the charred remains. Even the Old Scotch Kirk and Odd Fellows Hall could not escape this merciless blaze. In this moment frozen in time, we witness not only physical devastation but also resilience. Canadians from all walks of life come together to rebuild their beloved city from these ashes. This engraving serves as a poignant reminder of both our vulnerability to nature's wrath and our indomitable spirit when faced with adversity. It immortalizes an event that shaped the history of St John and stands as a testament to human perseverance in the face of unimaginable loss. Through this artwork preserved for generations to come, we are reminded never to underestimate the power within us to rise again after being consumed by flames.
