Inscription on the Back
“Water carriage (mid-19th century)
Horse-drawn water barrels delivered water to the population. Initially, water came from the river. However, from the early 19th century, it was sourced from city water supply system pools (‘fountains’) located in various streets and squares of Moscow. By the 1870s, horse barrels equipped with simple watering devices watered the streets in the city center.”
