EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a piece of history from 1906 - a decorative cast iron electric lamp pillar with a unique twist. Not only does this elegant structure provide light, but it also features a drinking fountain for horses and drivers, with the option of a dog trough as well.
Manufactured by Macfarlane's Saracen Foundry in Glasgow, Scotland, this innovative design showcases the intersection of practicality and beauty. The intricate details of the cast iron fountain are truly remarkable, from the chain-operated cups for people to drink from to the specialized apparatus for horses to quench their thirst.
In an era where public water supply was not always readily available, structures like these served an important function in providing refreshment for both animals and humans alike. The craftsmanship and attention to detail put into creating such a functional yet aesthetically pleasing piece is evident in every aspect of this lamp pillar.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are transported back in time to an age where even something as simple as getting a drink of water was turned into a work of art. This print serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and creativity that went into everyday objects during the early 1900s.
