EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "FIREFIGHTING, 1568" takes us back in time to witness a remarkable invention from the late 16th century. The image showcases a fire syringe dating back to 1568 A. D. , depicted through an engraving created by an American artist around the year 1885. The fire syringe, prominently displayed in the center of the composition, is a fascinating machine that was used as a tool for firefighting during this era. Operated by a man seen beside it, this ingenious device employed air compression and water to combat fires. By rapidly compressing air within its chamber and then releasing it forcefully into a stream of water, this early pump-like contraption could effectively extinguish flames. The intricate details captured in this engraving highlight not only the craftsmanship involved but also provide insight into the technological advancements of that time period. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness when faced with challenges such as fighting fires. Through Granger Art on Demand's preservation efforts, we are fortunate enough to have access to historical prints like these that allow us glimpses into our past. This particular artwork reminds us of how far we have come in terms of firefighting techniques and equipment while honoring those who came before us and paved the way for modern-day innovations in fire safety.
