EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating back to late 1941, depicts a thrilling moment of entertainment provided for the brave National Fire Service firefighters of London. The image captures the attention of the audience as a firefighter skillfully saws a woman in half during a magic show. The firemen, dressed in their iconic uniforms, are seen intently watching the illusion unfold with fascination and awe. The woman, dressed in an elegant costume, remains calm and composed as the saw slices through the box, adding to the suspense and mystery of the trick. The National Fire Service firefighters, who were responsible for protecting the city from the devastating effects of fires during World War II, were known for their hard work and dedication. Amidst the chaos and danger of their daily duties, it was essential for them to find moments of leisure and entertainment. This photograph is a testament to the camaraderie and light-heartedness that existed among the firefighters, even in the midst of a war. The magic show, with its illusions and tricks, would have provided a much-needed distraction and a moment of wonder for the firefighters. The image is a fascinating glimpse into the history of the London Fire Brigade and the lives of the firefighters during a time of great challenge and change. The photograph, with its timeless quality and captivating subject matter, continues to intrigue and delight viewers to this day.
