This quality reprint of a vintage photo shows a horse-drawn fire ladder and other carriages are seen on a busy street in Shanghai, China, with crowds of onlookers. During the late 19th century, the Shanghai International Settlement and French Concession developed modern municipal services, including fire brigades. These brigades used advanced horse-drawn equipment to combat fires in the rapidly growing and densely populated port city.
