Image of an elevation view of the side of the Pacific Engine Company No. 14 double-deck manual fire engine of Brooklyn, New York, decorated with images of a soldier with a sword on the condenser case. Probable date based on reference to image and engine history in "The Fire Engine in Prints" by Jerome Irving Smith in Antiques (July 1945), page 33, which cites the engine as built by John Agnew of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and received by the Pacific Engine Company on August 21, 1851.
