EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, showcases the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association's fountain located in London. Established by Samuel Gurney, a prominent Member of Parliament and philanthropist, the Association was funded through voluntary contributions to provide fresh water for both man and beast in urban areas. The image captures the essence of community welfare during an era when access to clean drinking water was a significant concern, particularly for the working classes and their animals. The fountain, adorned with intricate designs and a grand statue atop, stands proudly in the center of the bustling street. A diverse crowd gathers around the fountain, with men, women, and children filling their containers with water, while horses, dogs, and donkeys quench their thirst at the trough below. The sense of unity and shared need is palpable, as the community comes together to take advantage of this essential public service. The Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association's mission was to alleviate the suffering of the thirsty and to promote the health and wellbeing of both humans and animals. This photograph serves as a testament to the power of collective action and the importance of addressing the basic needs of a community. The Association's appeal for voluntary contributions was a common sight in London during this time, with advertisements and advertisements appearing in various forms to spread awareness and encourage support. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the impact of such initiatives and the enduring spirit of generosity and compassion that drove them.
