EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1825 print titled "Public Bathing at Bath, or Stewing Alive" takes us back in time to the Victorian era, offering a glimpse into the leisurely activities of that period. Created by Isaac Robert Cruikshank and published by Sherwood & Co, this coloured engraving showcases a bustling scene at a public bathing establishment. The image transports us to an inviting warm pool surrounded by beautiful natural surroundings. The cartoon-like depiction brings a touch of playfulness to the scene as mixed bathers enjoy their steamy retreat. This artwork captures both the social aspect and health benefits associated with communal bathing during this time. As we explore this enchanting print, we are reminded of the Roman influence on these types of establishments. The spa-like atmosphere evokes images of ancient Roman baths where people would gather for relaxation and rejuvenation. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable, from the intricately designed architecture surrounding the pool to each individual bather enjoying their dip. It offers us a window into how Victorians embraced wellness through hot springs and thermal waters. Now preserved in a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, this piece serves as an important historical artifact showcasing not only artistic skill but also cultural practices from centuries ago. Through its vibrant colors and lively composition, "Public Bathing at Bath" invites viewers to step into another world - one filled with warmth, camaraderie, and indulgence in simple pleasures that transcend time.
