Description |
English: Cast copper alloy mount. Modern. Post-Second World war. Erotic scene with man engaging in intercourse with woman, Viewed from behind with graphic detail. Underneath the couple, is an upwardly curved arch, connecting under the woman's feet, with FIREWATCHER embossed across it. The reverse is plain. Firewatchers were volunteers working during the blitz entrusted to control fires caused by bombing. Kevin Leahy says: "During World War II firewatchers were suspected of spending their long nights doing things other than looking out for incendiary bombs. No-one could admit to being a firewarden without some wit casting aspersions as to what they did at night". The function of this object is unclear. It is similar in style and weight to horsebrasses. There is no evidence of how the mount was attached to a surface, unless the small gaps between the lovers' feet held a nail. As to the date of the object, the term 'Firewatcher' certainly dates to the WWII era, but despite the aspersions cast upon the volunteers, it may have been considered too blasphemous or rude to openly produce objects of this graphic nature during the war period. |
