EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases a Hotel Trade Card, offering a glimpse into the world of travel and accommodation during that era. The print, part of a private collection, captures the essence of hospitality with its intricate details. The image depicts a bustling hotel scene, where families and travelers gather to enjoy their stay. Bathing in luxury is highlighted as individuals are seen swimming in what appears to be an elegant pool or perhaps even venturing out for a swim in nature. The card cleverly advertises various amenities such as wines, spirits, bottled ales, and even porter services. The setting transports us to Ventnor's Marine Hotel on the Isle of Wight (IW), hinting at its popularity among tourists seeking relaxation by the sea. Additionally, references to Baden in Germany suggest an international clientele drawn to this establishment. Not only does this trade card serve as an advertisement for hotels but it also reflects cultural aspects associated with German society. It provides insight into leisure activities like swimming which were popular among Germans during that time period. Overall, this enchanting print offers viewers a window into both historical advertising techniques and societal norms prevalent in Europe during the 19th century.
