[FIREFIGHTING] [AUTOMOBILES] Portrait of a group of firefighters and five firefighting vehicles in front of their urban fire station, ca. 1920

Verlag: [no place given, possibly Cleveland?], 1920

Beschreibung

One photograph, measuring just over 6.5" x 4.5", and housed in a mount with a two-inch border. Photograph has noe been examined out of the mount, but appears to be in very good or better condition, with some faint marginal dust-soiling, otherwise clean and bright. The image depicts a group of firemen posing with what look like brand-new, or at least recently washed fire trucks - four of one kind, probably for transporting firemen, plus a larger fire engine, which probably contained the hose, and seems to have a ladder along the top. It is not evident where exactly the photograph was taken, and the city identified on a "Fire Dept" lamp above the station is simply too small to be read by our loupe. Based on the collection it emerged from, it's likely Cleveland or another Ohio city. There are two African-American gentlemen talking on the street just behind the posing firemen. A nice early 20th-century portrait of American firemen. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 7876
