EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, captured on the 6th of June, 1910 by the Topical Press Agency, takes us back in time to a dramatic scene on Fore Street in London. In this unusual angle shot, we witness horse-drawn fire engines rushing to attend a blazing fire that engulfs the street. The image showcases an era when horse-drawn carts were the primary mode of transport for firefighters. The majestic horses can be seen pulling these impressive steam-powered engines with determination and urgency. Their presence adds an element of both power and vulnerability to this historic moment. As smoke billows from the burning building, brave firefighters work tirelessly alongside their trusty steeds to combat the flames. The architecture of nearby buildings frames the chaos unfolding below, while a church stands stoically in the background as if silently praying for safety. This photograph not only captures a significant event but also serves as a testament to human resilience and teamwork during times of crisis. It reminds us of our reliance on animals as working partners throughout history. Preserved through archival means, this stunning image allows us to reflect upon how far we have come in terms of firefighting technology and transportation methods. It is a window into London's past that continues to intrigue viewers today with its timeless appeal.
