This 19th-century engraving titled "Extinguishers in Berkeley Square" takes us back to the bustling streets of London, UK. The image showcases a scene from one of the city's most iconic squares, capturing the essence of a bygone era. In this print, we are transported to a time when fire safety was paramount and relied upon brave individuals known as extinguishers. These unsung heroes were tasked with protecting the city from devastating fires that could easily ravage its historic buildings and narrow alleyways. Berkeley Square itself is depicted in all its grandeur, with elegant Georgian townhouses lining its perimeter. The artist has skillfully captured the architectural details and ornate facades that make this square so distinctive. The hustle and bustle of daily life can be seen through the presence of horse-drawn carriages traversing cobblestone streets while pedestrians go about their business. Amidst this lively atmosphere, our attention is drawn to a group of extinguishers diligently carrying their equipment - long poles topped with buckets filled with water or sand - ready to spring into action at any moment. This engraving not only serves as an artistic representation but also offers us a glimpse into an important aspect of London's history: how communities came together to protect themselves against potential disasters. It reminds us that even in times past, people recognized the value of preparedness and working together for the greater good. As we admire this historical artwork from Liszt Collection, let it serve as a
