First Fire Engine
Bring a little Northborough home.
Unframed Matte Poster · 11 × 14 inches
The wall beside a favorite reading chair can hold a picture with details to look at closely, when you set down a book or pause between the day's tasks. Northborough's first fire engine gives the picture a practical object to look at, with public-service history carried by the equipment itself.
Northborough bought its first fire engine in 1846. A photograph taken for the town's 1916 anniversary and published in its 1921 history records that equipment. The image preserves a specific piece of local public-service history, connecting the town's commemorative record with the practical tools used by its firefighters.
The engine connects the town's anniversary record with the tools of local service. Give it space near a favorite chair, where there is time to look more closely at the picture.
