Trying to Save a Favorite Dog

J.N. Janes and Wife Trying to Save a Favorite Dog and their Canary Birds, 1872 (Frank Luzerne, The Lost City!) Inside the Burning City

If Goodspeed was the most pious fire historian, Luzerne was among the most sensational. He filled his book with overwritten passages, melodramatic anecdotes, and illustrations like this. But even the most restrained personal accounts tell of such trying moments as the one depicted above, when a family had to decide what to do either with a beloved pet or some treasured possession that provided a connection with their life before the fire.
