EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of Hot Springs, South Dakota, circa 1891, as captured in this stunning photograph by John C.H. Grabill. The image showcases the interior of the largest plunge bath in the United States, located at the Fall River Resort and Mineral Water Company. The arched ceiling and balconies of the bathhouse exude an air of grandeur and elegance, while the pool below teems with bathers and curious spectators. The meeting of frontierspeople and the burgeoning tourism industry is evident in this scene, as the bathhouse served as a hub for relaxation, socialization, and health restoration. The concept of bathing in natural mineral waters was a popular trend during the 19th century, and the Hot Springs Resort in South Dakota was a highly sought-after destination for those seeking relief from various ailments and the stresses of frontier life. Grabill's masterful composition and use of light and shadow create a captivating perspective, inviting us to explore the rich heritage of this historic bathhouse. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of the American West and the unique experiences that continue to draw visitors to Hot Springs, South Dakota, over a century later.
