A DRINKING FOUNTAIN IN THE 'CLOISTERS OF B-ELEM CATHEDRAL (jERONYMOS) 



Upon the suppression of the convent of Jeronymos in 1834, the buildings were given to the 

 Casa Pia, an orphanage. At least a hundred boys from this institution were standing just back 

 of the camera and were with difficulty restrained from swarming into the picture (see also 

 illustration on page 504).
