Drinking Fountain c. 1940

Edward DiGennero's "Drinking Fountain" (c. 1940) is a watercolor drawing depicting two architectural designs for a drinking fountain. Both designs feature a long, rectangular trough with a decorative vertical element. The trough is supported by a small platform, and the vertical element features a stylized design of leaves and water drops. The design was created by the American architect Edward DiGennero (1855-1995). The drawing is 22 x 15 in. and is a testament to DiGennero's unique perspective on functional public art.
