1673 Ablaze Admiralty Designed Engines Fire Heyden January Line Time Deployed Extinguished Jobs
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fire in the Admiralty Line Jobs, 1673" takes us back to a significant event in history. Attributed to Romeyn de Hooghe, this artwork captures the chaos and destruction caused by a devastating fire that engulfed the Admiralty line jobs in Amsterdam Oostenburg on January 12,1673. The image showcases an inferno ablaze with intense flames reaching towards the sky. Amidst the chaos, we can spot old fire extinguishing equipment scattered around, highlighting the desperate attempts of firefighters to control the raging blaze. The Admiralty line jobs were crucial for Amsterdam's maritime industry during that time. The fire threatened not only these important facilities but also posed a threat to countless livelihoods dependent on them. Fortunately, thanks to innovative firefighting techniques developed by Jan van der Heyden (1637-1712), specially designed engines were deployed promptly to combat this catastrophe. Quint Lox's skillful capture allows us to witness both the destructive power of fire and humanity's resilience in times of crisis. This photograph serves as a reminder of our ability to overcome adversity through ingenuity and collective effort. As we admire this historical moment frozen in time, let us appreciate Quint Lox's dedication in preserving such valuable records from Liszt Collection for future generations' understanding and appreciation of our past struggles and triumphs.
