EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1903, showcases the installation of Advert, Davis & Bennett's heavy fireclay urinal stalls at a public mens' toilet in London. The image, captured by an unidentified photographer, offers a glimpse into the Edwardian era's sanitation advancements. The scene unfolds on Princes Mews Street, where a team of laborers, dressed in work clothes and caps, carefully maneuver the large, fireclay urinal stalls into position. Each stall, bearing the distinctive markings of Advert, Westminster Sanitary Works, and Davis & Bennett, is meticulously crafted from heavy fireclay, a material renowned for its durability and resistance to moisture. The urinal stalls, with their clean, geometric lines and uniform design, exude an air of modernity and efficiency. Their installation marks a significant improvement from the unsanitary and often unsightly privies and outhouses that were common during this time. The photograph also reveals the intricate process of transporting and installing these large fixtures. A horse-drawn cart, laden with the fireclay urinal stalls, is parked nearby, while a team of laborers, using ropes and pulleys, carefully lift and position each stall into place. The meticulous attention to detail and the sheer size of the operation underscore the importance of sanitation and public health during the early 1900s. This photograph, with its historical significance and captivating composition, provides a fascinating window into the past, offering a unique perspective on the evolution of plumbing and sanitation during the Edwardian era.
