EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration from a book on Firefighting in Holland, published around 1700, showcases the innovative new long fire hoses that revolutionized firefighting techniques of the time. The engraving depicts a scene where brave firemen confront a blazing inferno in an old building. With their newly developed invention, these firefighters are able to reach all parts of the structure with ease and precision. The image captures the intensity and urgency of the situation as flames engulf the house, creating a clash between man and nature. The firemen valiantly battle against this formidable force, armed with their powerful water jets delivered through these groundbreaking long hoses. In this historic moment frozen in time, we witness not only an incredible innovation but also a testament to human resilience and determination. It serves as a reminder that even in times of great conflict and confrontation, humanity has always found ways to fight back against adversity. As part of The Stapleton Collection held privately today, this engraving offers us a glimpse into the past while highlighting how far we have come in our efforts to protect lives and property from devastating fires. Let it serve as an inspiration for future generations to continue pushing boundaries and inventing new tools to combat one of nature's most destructive forces - fire.
