EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases a remarkable event that took place in Marazion, Cornwall. Titled "The Ladies Fire-Brigade Tournament at Marazion, Cornwall, practising Saving Life from Fire by Means of a Sheet" this print captures a unique moment in history. Intriguingly, the image portrays an all-female fire brigade team diligently practicing their life-saving techniques. The women are seen skillfully maneuvering a sheet to rescue individuals trapped in burning buildings. Their determination and bravery shine through as they demonstrate their capabilities in tackling emergencies. Published on August 26,1893, this illustration originally appeared in The Graphic magazine. It offers us a glimpse into the progressive nature of society during that era when women were actively involved in emergency services. Marazion's picturesque backdrop adds charm to the scene as these courageous ladies showcase their abilities amidst its stunning landscape. This print serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of an extraordinary event that challenged gender norms and celebrated female empowerment. Preserved within a private collection and now made available by Bridgeman Images, this engraving is not only visually striking but also holds immense cultural significance. It reminds us of the indomitable spirit displayed by these pioneering women who fearlessly ventured into traditionally male-dominated fields for the greater good of society. Through this artwork, we can appreciate how far we have come while acknowledging those trailblazers who paved the way for future generations of women serving in emergency services
