EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant atmosphere of Bagnigge Wells in St Pancras, London, during the year 1772. Known as "The Bread and Butter Manufactory" or "The Humors of Bagnigge Wells" this popular spa was a hub of activity and relaxation throughout the late 18th century. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a diverse group of individuals enjoying the amenities offered by Bagnigge Wells. The fashion trends of the era are on full display, with both men and women donning elaborate clothing and headgear that reflect their social status. A lady stands gracefully amidst the crowd while a gentleman nearby catches our attention with his distinctive hat. As we delve into this image's details, it becomes evident that health and indulgence were at the forefront of everyone's minds. People can be seen savoring food and drink within the spa's interior, emphasizing its reputation as a place for nourishment and well-being. Captured through an exquisite mezzotint technique by J. Sanders, this monochrome masterpiece transports us to a moment when Bagnigge Wells thrived as one of London's most sought-after destinations for relaxation and rejuvenation. Now preserved within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery in Camden, England, this anonymous work serves as a testament to an era where spas like Bagnigge Wells played an integral role in society—a reminder of how people sought solace from their bustling lives
