This fountain, in the Company Gardens, was erected in memory of Howson Edwards Rutherfoord Esq., who was apparently a member of the Legislative Council at the Cape towards the end of his life. He died in 1862, and the fountain was erected in 1864. I know nothing else about him, and in fact, didn't even know this fountain existed until now! But it is rather pretty, isn't it? And I love the way it catches the early-afternoon sun shining through the trees.
