Product Description

Discover the rich history of the American Firefighter from the colonial days of the "Rattle Watch" to the present-day firefighter. Each firefighter image (six in all) has an educational 200-word description reflecting its time era. This 24" x 36" watercolor poster is printed on 100lb acid-free matte text with fade-free ink. Each poster is rolled in a clear acid-free poly/plastic and shipped in a hard craft tube. Below is a sample of part of the text, from the second firefighter (Red Shirt), 1751-1860 information block: The seeds of modern firefighting were planted in this period. In 1836, Henry Graticap, a foreman in the New York fire department, designed the Graticap leather fire helmet which provided significant protection from falling debris. The most important innovation of the time was the riveted leather hose, developed by two members of the Philadelphia Hose Company One. The hose was a vastly superior to it's predecessors and allowed firefighters to draft plenty of water from large, nearby sources, such as rivers stock tanks and cisterns. Early fire hydrants arrived...........With volunteer departments in larger cities becoming more active, metropolotion areas transitioned to entirely paid departments, improving political control, criminal screening and technical training of crews. Cincinnati organized the nation's first paid department in 1853. Providence and Boston soon followed.

This review is from: History of the American Firefighter, Fireman, Fire Engine,Art, Poster, Gift, Dalmation, Axe, Size: 24" X 36"
We bought and framed this for a friend. After it was framed, which was very cheap at Hobby Lobby. If you buy the frams there, they do the framing for you. It was beautiful and professional looking. Our friend was thrilled with his gift!
