The print showcases four distinct scenes that depict the chaos and heroism surrounding this devastating fire. In the first scene, we see a group of desperate fugitives fleeing from the engulfing flames. Their faces etched with fear, they scramble through debris and smoke, seeking refuge from the inferno that threatens their lives. The second scene portrays a heartwarming rescue as brave individuals come together to save a rent payer trapped amidst the raging blaze. Their determination shines through as they risk their own safety to pull him to safety, embodying the spirit of unity and compassion in times of crisis.

Through its detailed illustrative technique and Victorian aesthetics, this vintage engraving transports us into Dublin's past.
