EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Public Bathing at Bath or Strewing Alive" takes us on a journey back to the Regency era. Created by Isaac Robert Cruikshank in 1824, this artwork captures the essence of leisure and relaxation amidst the Roman baths. The scene unfolds within an interior setting, where steam rises from warm pools as bathers indulge in the therapeutic waters. The cartoon-like depiction adds a touch of whimsy to this otherwise serene atmosphere. Men and women of various backgrounds can be seen mingling together, enjoying the communal experience that public bathing offers. The Roman baths were not just a place for recreation but also held medicinal properties. People sought relief from ailments and believed in the healing powers of these natural springs. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to a time when taking care of one's health was intertwined with moments of pure enjoyment. Through intricate details and vibrant colours, Cruikshank invites us to immerse ourselves in this bustling spa environment. We can almost feel the warmth enveloping our bodies as we join these bathers in their pursuit of well-being. This remarkable piece from The Stapleton Collection reminds us that even centuries ago, people understood the importance of self-care and finding solace in shared experiences – lessons that still resonate today.
