The Fire Alarm, or how Muddleborough got its new Engine
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating chromolitho print that takes us back to the 19th century. This artwork, created by an English School artist, captures a moment of excitement and unity in the small village of Muddleborough. In this bustling scene, we witness the efforts of the local fire brigade as they gather around their newly acquired engine. The volunteers are eager and ready for action, having received a windfall contribution from the district council. With military-like precision, they assemble under the guidance of their chairman and orderly sergeant. The villagers look on with surprise and curiosity as deafening drummers lead a parade through town to announce their preparedness for any fire emergency. Boys scurry about carrying haversacks filled with essential firefighting equipment while officers coordinate duties at every corner. Amidst all this commotion stands Captain Smith, footed firmly in front of his team. He is joined by Major Tompkins who blows his bugle to signal readiness. Even Jane, the brave cookhouse waiter, can be seen rushing towards her canteen duty with hoses at hand. This vibrant artwork not only showcases community spirit but also highlights the importance of being prepared for unforeseen horrors like fires. It serves as a reminder that even in remote villages like Muddleborough, unity and knowledge can conquer any challenge that comes their way.
