EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century trade card offers a glimpse into the bustling city of London and the services provided by John Riggs' establishment. The line engraving depicts an elegant frame showcasing various activities available for gentlemen seeking comfort and relaxation. In this era, where personal well-being was highly valued, Riggs' business catered to the needs of men in search of lodging, sweating, bathing, or cupping. The image transports us back to a time when these practices were considered essential for maintaining good health and vitality. As we observe the intricate details of the engraving, we can almost imagine ourselves stepping through the doors of Riggs' establishment - a haven where men could rejuvenate their bodies and minds. However, it is worth noting that while gentlemen were welcomed with open arms at this prestigious lodging house, ladies were not accepted as lodgers. This detail serves as a reminder of societal norms prevalent during that period. The trade card itself is a testament to both artistic craftsmanship and effective advertising techniques used in 18th-century England. Its inclusion in Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection allows us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its aesthetic beauty. As we delve into this fascinating piece from The Granger Collection, let our imaginations wander through time and envision what life might have been like for those who sought solace within John Riggs' esteemed establishment in bustling London centuries ago.
