"The Night Alarm" is a notable lithograph created by the German-American artist Louis Maurer in 1858. Maurer, who was born in Biebrich, Germany, in 1832, immigrated to the United States in 1851 and became a prominent figure in the American art scene, particularly known for his work with Currier and Ives, a famous printmaking firm. "The Night Alarm" is one of Maurer's most recognized pieces and exemplifies his skill in capturing dynamic and dramatic scenes.

The lithograph depicts a fire engine racing through the streets at night, responding to an emergency. The scene is filled with a sense of urgency and movement, as the horses gallop at full speed and the firemen hold on tightly. The dark, shadowy background contrasts sharply with the bright lights of the fire engine, emphasizing the peril and heroism of the moment. This work is a testament to Maurer's ability to convey action and emotion through his art.

"The Night Alarm" is also significant for its historical context. During the mid-19th century, urban fires were a common and devastating occurrence, and the development of organized fire departments was a critical advancement in public safety. Maurer's lithograph not only captures the excitement and danger of firefighting but also serves as a historical document, reflecting the challenges and advancements of the time.

Maurer's collaboration with Currier and Ives allowed his work to reach a broad audience, and "The Night Alarm" remains a celebrated example of 19th-century American lithography. The piece is appreciated not only for its artistic merit but also for its depiction of an essential aspect of urban life in the 1800s.
