EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of The Caledon Hot Mineral Baths and Sanatorium, a renowned establishment in 19th century South Africa. Nestled amidst the picturesque scenery of the Zwartberg Range, this magnificent building stands tall, overlooking the town below. The attention to detail in its architecture is evident as one gazes at the wide frontages and carefully furnished verandahs. With numerous stories and buildings that testify to its long history, this sanatorium has attracted thousands of patients seeking relief from various ailments such as rheumatism, gout, anaemia, and sciatica. The hot mineral baths are known for their natural healing virtues. The rushing waters surrounding the premises have been studied and tested for their temperature which reaches up to 130 degrees Fahrenheit (54 degrees Celsius). Patients can find solace in these therapeutic waters or take a plunge into specially designed bathrooms. With state-of-the-art facilities including electric cooling arrangements and comfortable accommodation options, The Caledon Hot Mineral Baths and Sanatorium offers an ideal retreat for those seeking respite from their ailments. Its reputation extends far beyond South African borders with testimonials from satisfied patrons attesting to its efficacy. As we admire this vintage print captured by an English photographer in the late 19th century, we are transported back in time to witness not only a remarkable architectural feat but also a place where hope meets healing amidst breathtaking surroundings.
