EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon print, created by the talented Chris Reynolds in the 1970s, showcases a horse-drawn steamer fire engine of the Victorian era. Reynolds, a dedicated fireman at Paddington Fire Station, brought his artistic skills to life through a series of LFB/MFB cartoons, providing a unique insight into the world of firefighting during that time. The illustration depicts the intricately detailed Victorian fire engine, adorned with ornate decorations and steam pipes, being pulled by a team of powerful horses. The crew, dressed in their traditional firefighting uniforms, are shown in action, preparing to tackle a fire with their equipment. The steamer engine, a vital appliance in firefighting during the Victorian era, emits thick plumes of steam, adding to the sense of urgency and intensity in the scene. The cartoon, with its charming humor and attention to detail, offers a fascinating glimpse into the heritage and history of firefighting during the 19th century. The use of horses as a primary means of transport for the fire engine adds an extra layer of authenticity to the illustration, making it a captivating piece of firefighting memorabilia. This print is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of the London Fire Brigade, firefighting equipment, or simply appreciates the artistry of Chris Reynolds.
