Comments:
The source of drinking water was placed in London in 1878, the sculpture above it was made by Jules Dalou.
In the statue, a mother is seen holding her two children (one seems to be breastfeeding), which fits the name of the statue: Maternity

The statue was photographed on the same day Click for a larger image Click for a larger image
