EDITORS COMMENTS
In this wood engraving from 1858, we are transported to the mesmerizing world of Cremore Gardens in London. The focal point of the image is Christofero Core, an Italian daredevil known as "The Italian Salamander" showcasing his revolutionary fireproof dress. As spectators gather around, their faces filled with awe and anticipation, Core stands confidently in his iron-clad hooded garment. The scene is set at night, adding a sense of mystery and danger to the atmosphere. Flames dance menacingly around Core's cage-like enclosure while he remains unscathed inside his remarkable creation. This spectacle not only demonstrates Core's bravery but also highlights the ingenuity and innovation of mankind. Men and women alike are drawn to witness this extraordinary display, reflecting society's fascination with feats of daring and adventure during this era. The onlookers' expressions range from excitement to trepidation as they bear witness to what seems like an impossible feat - defying fire itself. This wood engraving captures a pivotal moment in history when fire fighting techniques were still rudimentary at best. It serves as a testament to human resilience and our relentless pursuit of conquering nature's most destructive forces. As we gaze upon this evocative print by The Granger Collection, we can't help but marvel at both the courage displayed by Christofero Core and the artistic skill that brings this historical event back to life before our eyes.
