EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heartwarming scene from London in the late 1920s. In the bustling corner of Mark Lane and Tower Hill, horses are depicted quenching their thirst from a cattle trough. This image is not only a testament to the symbiotic relationship between humans and animals but also showcases the efforts made by The Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association. Established with noble intentions, this association provided free drinking water for both people and animals across London. Their commitment to ensuring access to clean water was commendable, especially during an era when such resources were scarce. The horses in this photograph stand as silent witnesses to this benevolent initiative. The composition of the image is strikingly beautiful; it exudes tranquility amidst the urban chaos that surrounds it. The juxtaposition of these majestic creatures against the backdrop of towering buildings creates a sense of harmony between nature and civilization. Published in Volume I of "Wonderful London" edited by Arthur St John Adcock, this photograph serves as a historical record capturing everyday life in early 20th century London. It reminds us of our shared responsibility towards animal welfare while offering glimpses into how society has evolved over time. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but feel grateful for those who came before us, striving to make our world better for all living beings – humans and animals alike.
