EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Proposed Safety Net for rescuing Life from Fire" takes us back to the 19th century when fire safety was a pressing concern. The image showcases an innovative solution that aimed to save lives during fires. In this intricate artwork by an English School artist, we see a bustling city street engulfed in flames. Amidst the chaos, a large net is suspended between two buildings, ready to catch desperate individuals leaping from windows above. The net symbolizes hope and protection amidst the destructive force of fire. The engraving was originally featured in The Graphic on November 24th, 1877, serving as both informative and thought-provoking material for its readership. It offers us a glimpse into historical emergency services and their efforts to rescue people trapped in burning buildings. This print serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of fire safety measures today. While this proposed safety net may not have become widely adopted or implemented, it represents the ingenuity and determination of our ancestors to protect life during emergencies. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us appreciate the bravery and resourcefulness exhibited by those who dedicated themselves to saving lives from devastating fires throughout history.
