Artist's Description

a new print based on an incredible Early American Currier and Ives firefighter lithograph from the 1800s. This is one of four prints in a series called The American Fireman. Always Ready is the title of this one that would make a great gift for a firefighter. A uniformed fireman pulls a horse drawn fire wagon from the doors of the firehouse. This print reminds us that before the call could be answered the fire wagon had to be hitched to horses that were stabled nearby.

About Chris Bordeleau

Chris Bordeleau

I am a photographer located in Western New York with 20 years experience. I got my start with my Grandfather's Minolta x-700 while at Boston University working in B&W film.

Outside of photography I rise my two daughters, Madeleine & Nicole...
