EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph, we witness a momentous occasion as The Duke and Duchess of York graciously review the London Fire Brigade on Clapham Common. The image, created by George Derville Rowlandson in 1897, transports us back to a time when royalty played an active role in their community. The scene is filled with energy and anticipation as the royal couple takes center stage amidst a bustling crowd. Drawn by horses, the fire brigade's impressive fleet stands ready for inspection. This engraving captures every intricate detail of the horses' powerful presence, from racehorses to ponies and shire stallions. As we delve into this snapshot of history, it becomes evident that this event was not merely ceremonial but also held great significance for both the emergency services and the public. The Duke and Duchess' involvement showcases their commitment to ensuring the safety of Londoners during times of crisis. This litho print serves as a testament to an era where animals played an integral role in daily life - from farm animals like livestock to majestic horses serving as vital means of transportation. It reminds us that even amidst grandeur and royalty, nature's creatures remain essential companions. With its rich historical context and attention to detail, this artwork provides us with a glimpse into a bygone era while celebrating unity between monarchy and community service.
