EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating scene from early 20th century London. Titled "Horses at a drinking fountain at the corner of Mark Lane and Tower Hill" this image showcases a historic moment in British history. The Metropolitan Drinking Fountain Association provided water for both humans and animals, as seen here with horses quenching their thirst. The photograph depicts a bustling street corner, with drivers and carters going about their daily tasks. The horses, tired from their laborious work, eagerly gather around the drinking fountain to hydrate themselves. This snapshot offers a glimpse into the everyday life of England during the 1920s or 1930s. The composition is beautifully captured by an English photographer whose identity remains unknown but has left behind this remarkable piece of history. The grayscale tones add depth to the image, highlighting details such as horse-drawn wagons and architectural elements that define London's charm. This print belongs to a private collection but was originally featured in "Wonderful London" by St John Adcock in Fleetway circa 1930. It is gravure-printed, showcasing its artistic quality. Overall, this photograph not only documents an important aspect of British culture – providing water for working animals – but also serves as a visual time capsule transporting us back to early 20th century London streets filled with hustle and bustle.
