Engraved by an English School artist and featured in The Illustrated London News on April 3,1852, this illustration showcases the importance of water supplies in bustling Victorian London. The image reveals a sprawling complex of opening and filtering basins at Seething Wells, where the Lambeth Water Company diligently worked to provide clean and safe drinking water to the city's residents. It is evident that meticulous care was taken in ensuring that every drop was purified before reaching its destination.
