EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Fire at St John's, Newfoundland" takes us back to a dramatic event that unfolded in the 19th century. The image showcases the chaos and intensity of a devastating fire that engulfed the city, leaving its mark on both the landscape and the hearts of its inhabitants. The flames dance fiercely against the night sky, illuminating the silhouette of St John's with an eerie glow. The artist masterfully captures every detail, from billowing smoke to crumbling buildings, conveying a sense of urgency and despair. It is as if we can feel the heat radiating from this historical moment frozen in time. This artwork originally appeared in The Pictorial Times on July 11th, 1846 – a publication that aimed to bring news stories to life through vivid illustrations. Through this engraving, we are transported back to witness one of Newfoundland's most significant tragedies. As Canadians living in North America's western hemisphere today, it serves as a reminder of our collective history and resilience. This print invites us to reflect on how communities come together during times of crisis and rebuild what was lost. Bridgeman Images allows us access to these remarkable pieces of art that capture moments like these forever. Let this engraving serve as a testament not only to our past but also as inspiration for future generations facing their own trials and tribulations.
