EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the historic moment of the opening of a drinking fountain outside Bow Station in London, in October 1872. The grand occasion was graced by the presence of the Lord Mayor of London, who is depicted here in his formal attire, performing the ceremonial ribbon-cutting. The monumental drinking fountain, a beautiful addition to the urban landscape, was dedicated to Messrs. Bryant and May, in recognition of their philanthropic efforts and innovative invention. The Bryant and May company, renowned for their Patent Safety Lucifer Matches, had recently made significant strides in improving working conditions for their match factory employees. Their commitment to social responsibility extended beyond their business operations, as they funded the construction of this public drinking fountain to provide relief and convenience to commuters and locals alike. The intricate design of the fountain is showcased in this engraving, with its ornate details and elegant curves. The importance of this event was not lost on the local press, who reported on the occasion with great enthusiasm. This historical image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the social and cultural milieu of late 19th-century London. The engraving, originally published in the Illustrated London News on December 21, 1872, is an essential addition to any collection focusing on the history of London, social reform, or philanthropy. This monumental drinking fountain, a testament to the generosity and vision of Messrs. Bryant and May, continues to stand outside Bow Station, serving as a reminder of the power of giving and the impact it can have on the community.
