EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Etats-Unis 1865 - New-York Fire-Brigade Zouaves, 1865" by Draner takes us back to the vibrant streets of 19th century America. The image showcases a group of courageous firefighters from the New York Fire-Brigade Zouaves, their uniforms vividly hand-coloured and standing out against the backdrop of bustling city life. The lithograph with tint stone and hand colouring technique used in this artwork adds depth and character to each figure, capturing the essence of these brave men who risked their lives daily to protect their community. Their full-length presence exudes strength and determination as they stand united in front of a railway station, ready for any challenge that may come their way. Amidst the chaos depicted in this scene, one cannot help but notice an alcohol bottle lying on the ground nearby. This subtle detail hints at a deeper narrative surrounding temperance during this era. It serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity, these firefighters remained dedicated professionals committed to serving others while resisting temptation. As we admire this piece from Draner's collection housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), we are transported back in time to witness not only an important moment in American history but also appreciate the artistry involved in its creation. This photograph print is truly a testament to both French heritage art and American culture, showcasing how different artistic mediums can converge seamlessly across borders and centuries.
