EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a piece of history from 1906 - a Case iron circular horse trough with a drinking fountain. The intricate design and craftsmanship of this public water supply apparatus showcase the attention to detail that was put into everyday amenities in the early 20th century.
Manufactured by Macfarlane's Saracen Foundry Company in Glasgow, Britain, this cast iron fountain served as a vital source of hydration for both animals and people alike. The presence of cups hanging on chains indicates that it was not just horses who benefited from this innovative invention, but also dogs and other creatures in need of refreshment.
The nostalgia evoked by this image is palpable, transporting us back to a time when communal resources like this trough were essential for maintaining the health and well-being of urban populations. It serves as a reminder of the importance of access to clean drinking water, even in an era long before modern conveniences.
As we admire the beauty and functionality of this historic artifact, let us appreciate the legacy left behind by companies like Macfarlane's Saracen Foundry who dedicated themselves to providing quality products for the benefit of society.
