Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Fire department photo album, ca 1912, a visual record of early motorized firefighting that documents the transition from horse drawn apparatus to mechanized emergency response in California. The album centers on a small town department identified by the uniform insignia "CCFD," capturing a moment when motor vehicles were beginning to replace traditional equipment even as many larger cities still relied on horse drawn engines. The presence of specialized vehicles and organized crews reflects the modernization of municipal and volunteer fire services in the early twentieth century, as departments adopted new technologies to improve response speed and operational capacity. Photo album containing 42 silver gelatin photographs, housed in original string bound black leather covers. Images depict firefighters posed with motorized apparatus, including vehicles associated with Kissel, an early automobile manufacturer known for producing service and utility vehicles. Several photographs show crews at fire scenes alongside the charred remains of structures, while others document equipment, group portraits, and operational contexts. One loose photograph bears the caption, "This Rig is used for carrying back dirty hose. The other three are useless," providing a candid comment on equipment function and intra crew perspective. Additional imagery includes a woman seated on a Kissel automobile, indicating the broader presence of early motor vehicles within the community. The album documents a transitional phase in firefighting history when mechanization reshaped emergency services, reducing reliance on animal power and enabling more complex logistical coordination. Departments adopting motorized equipment during this period often represented early adopters of automotive technology within their communities, and their visual documentation provides insight into both technological change and local organization of public safety. The combination of posed and candid images captures both formal representation and everyday practice within a fire brigade adapting to new tools and methods. Covers show light wear with secure string binding; photographs remain clear and well preserved. Overall very good condition.…
