Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Caricature in the satirical newspaper Chantecler, published in the Spanish city of Cartagena on July 17, 1910.

In the caricature the city is depicted as a woman who declares her love to an English man who personifies the British company The Carthagena Mining and Water Co. Ltd., popularly known as the «English Water Company». At the bottom of the image is contemplated the Monte Sacro water tank, operated by Manchester-based company.

The water supply to Cartagena was a problem for much of the 20th century, as the British Water Company could never meet demand and potability conditions worsened over time. The issue was not resolved until 1945, with the arrival of the flows from the Taibilla.
Español: Caricatura en el periódico satírico Chantecler, publicada en la ciudad española de Cartagena el 17 de julio de 1910.

En ella se representa a la ciudad como una mujer que declara su amor a un hombre inglés, que personifica a la empresa británica The Carthagena Mining and Water Co. Ltd., conocida popularmente como la «Compañía del Agua Inglesa». Al fondo de la imagen se contempla el depósito de agua del monte Sacro, operado por esta empresa radicada en Mánchester.

El abastecimiento de agua a Cartagena fue un problema durante gran parte del siglo XX, pues la Compañía del Agua Inglesa nunca pudo satisfacer la demanda y las condiciones de potabilidad empeoraron con el tiempo. El asunto no fue resuelto hasta 1945, con la llegada de los caudales del Taibilla.
